contents The single particle Green's function provides valuable information on the momentum and energy-resolved spectral properties for a strongly correlated system. In large-scale numerical calculations using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), including cluster-DMFT, one usually obtains the Green's function in imaginary-time $G(τ)$. The process of inverting a Laplace transform to obtain the spectral function $A(ω)$ in real-frequency is an ill-posed problem and forms the core of the analytic continuation problem. In this Letter, we propose to use a completely unsupervised autoencoder-type neural network to solve the analytic continuation problem. We introduce an encoder-decoder approach that, together with only minor physical assumptions, can extract a high-quality frequency response from the imaginary time domain. With a deeply tunable architecture, this method can, in principle, locate sharp features of spectral functions that might normally be lost using already well-established methods, such as maximum entropy (MaxEnt) methods. We demonstrate the strength of the autoencoder approach by applying it to QMC results of $G(τ)$ for a single-band Hubbard model. The proposed method is general and can also be applied to other ill-posed inverse problems.
