contents We develop a one-class, deep-learning framework to detect the phase transition and recover critical behavior of the 3D Ising model. A 3D convolutional neural network autoencoder (CAE) is trained on ground-state configurations only, without prior knowledge of the critical temperature, the Hamiltonian, or the order parameter. After training, the model is applied to Monte Carlo configurations across a wide temperature range and different lattice sizes. The mean-square reconstruction error is shown to be sensitive to the transition. Finite-size scaling of the peak location for the reconstruction error susceptibility yields the critical temperature $T_c=4.5128(58)$ and the correlation-length critical exponent $ν=0.63(27)$, consistent with results from the literature. Our results show that a one-class CAE, trained on zero-temperature configurations only, can recover nontrivial critical behavior of the 3D Ising model.
