A cautionary tale for machine learning generated configurations in presence of a conserved quantity

Abstract We investigate the performance of machine learning algorithms trained exclusively with configurations obtained from importance sampling Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model with conserved magnetization. For supervised machine learning, we use convolutional neural netwo...
