contents We train machine learning algorithms to infer the entanglement structure of disordered long-range interacting quantum spin chains by learning from the strong disorder renormalisation group (SDRG) method. The system consists of $S=1/2$-quantum spins coupled by antiferromagnetic power-law interactions with decay exponent $α$ at random positions on a one-dimensional chain. Using SDRG as a physics-informed teacher, we compare a Random Forest classifier as a classical baseline with a graph neural network (GNN) that operates directly on the interaction graph and learns a bond-ranking rule mirroring the SDRG decimation policy. The GNN achieves a disorder-averaged pairing accuracy close to one and reproduces the entanglement entropy $S(\ell)$ in excellent quantitative agreement with SDRG across all subsystem sizes and interaction exponents. RG flow heat maps confirm that the GNN learns the sequential decimation hierarchy rather than merely fitting final-state observables. Finite-temperature entanglement properties are incorporated via the SDRGX framework through a two-stage strategy, using the zero-temperature GNN to generate the RG flow and sampling thermal occupations from the canonical ensemble, yielding results in agreement with both numerical SDRGX and analytical predictions without retraining.
