Abstract

In this work, we map the phase diagrams of one-dimensional quasiperiodic models using artificial neural networks. We observe that the multi-class classifier precisely distinguishes the various phases, namely the delocalized, multifractal, and localized phases, when trained on the eigenstates of the long-range Aubry-Andr\'e Harper (LRH) model. Additionally, when this trained multi-layer perceptron is fed with the eigenstates of the Aubry-Andr\'e Harper (AAH) model, it identifies various phases with reasonable accuracy. We examine the resulting phase diagrams produced using a single disorder realization and demonstrate that they are consistent with those obtained from the conventional method of fractal dimension analysis. Interestingly, when the neural network is trained using the eigenstates of the AAH model, the resulting phase diagrams for the LRH model are less exemplary than those previously obtained. Further, we study binary classification by training the neural network on the probability density corresponding to the delocalized and localized eigenstates of the AAH model. We are able to pinpoint the critical transition point by examining the metric ``accuracy" for the central eigenstate. The effectiveness of the binary classifier in identifying a previously unknown multifractal phase is then evaluated by applying it to the LRH model.
