Neural Network Perturbation Theory (NNPT): Learning Residual Corrections from Exact Solutions

Zhenhao Chen, Mutian Shen, Boris Fain +1

Many complex physical systems naturally decompose into an exactly solvable component augmented by a perturbative correction. Rather than directly employing neural networks to analy…

Pattern Expansion of Spin Glasses

Mutian Shen, Zohar Nussinov, Yang-Yu Liu

We introduce a systematic method for expanding general spin-glass Hamiltonians in terms of Mattis interactions, providing a novel perspective for understanding the fundamental diff…

The Eggbox Ising Model

Mutian Shen, Yichen Xu, Zohar Nussinov

We introduce the Eggbox Ising model, a tunable construction of rugged energy landscapes defined by distances to a prescribed set of patterns. Correlated pattern ensembles realize a…

Optimizing p-spin models through hypergraph neural networks and deep reinforcement learning

Li Zeng, Mutian Shen, Tianle Pu +5

p-spin glasses, characterized by frustrated many-body interactions beyond the conventional pairwise case (p>2), are prototypical disordered systems whose ground-state search is NP-…

The Physics of Local Optimization in Complex Disordered Systems

Mutian Shen, Gerardo Ortiz, Zhiqiao Dong +2

Limited resources motivate decomposing large-scale problems into smaller,``local" subsystems and stitching together the so-found solutions. We explore the physics underlying this a…
