| contents | Machine learning (ML) can process large sets of data generated from complex systems, which is ideal for classification tasks as often appeared in critical phenomena. Meanwhile ML techniques have been found effective in detecting critical points, or in a broader sense phase separation, and extracting critical exponents. But there are still many unsolved issues with the ML, one of which is the meaning of hidden variables of unsupervised learning. Some say that the hidden variables and the principal component may contain basic information regarding the order parameter of the system of interest, which sounds plausible but lacks evidence. This study aims at searching for evidence supporting the conjecture that the autoencoder's (AE) single latent variable and PCA's first principal component can only serve as signals related to particle density, which happens to be the order parameter of the non-equilibrium DP model. Indeed, in some phase transition (PT) models the order parameter is the particle density, whereas in some PT models it is not. Having conducted a certain degree of random shuffling on the DP configurations, which are then fed to the neural networks as input, we find that AE's single latent variable and PCA's first principal component can indeed represent particle density. It is found that shuffling does affect the size of maximum cluster in the system, which suggests that the second principal component of the PCA is related to the maximal cluster. This has been supported by changes in the correlation length of the transition system with variations in the shuffle ratio. |
