contents We use a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network approach to learn morphological evolution driven by surface diffusion. To this aim we first produce a training set using phase field simulations. Intentionally, we insert in such a set only relatively simple, isolated shapes. After proper data augmentation, training and validation, the model is shown to correctly predict also the evolution of previously unobserved morphologies and to have learned the correct scaling of the evolution time with size. Importantly, we quantify prediction uncertainties based on a bootstrap-aggregation procedure. The latter proved to be fundamental in pointing out high uncertainties when applying the model to more complex initial conditions (e.g. leading to splitting of high aspect-ratio individual structures). Automatic smart-augmentation of the training set and design of a hybrid simulation method are discussed.
