Variational tensor neural networks for deep learning

Saeed S. Jahromi, Román Orús

Deep neural networks (NNs) encounter scalability limitations when confronted with a vast array of neurons, thereby constraining their achievable network depth. To address this challenge, we propose an integration of tensor networks (TN) into NN frameworks, combined with a variational DMRG-inspired training technique. This in turn, results in a scalable tensor neural network (TNN) architecture capable of efficient training over a large parameter space. Our variational algorithm utilizes a local gradient-descent technique, enabling manual or automatic computation of tensor gradients, facilitating design of hybrid TNN models with combined dense and tensor layers. Our training algorithm further provides insight on the entanglement structure of the tensorized trainable weights and correlation among the model parameters. We validate the accuracy and efficiency of our method by designing TNN models and providing benchmark results for linear and non-linear regressions, data classification and image recognition on MNIST handwritten digits.

Accurate Many-Body Repulsive Potentials for Density-Functional Tight Binding from Deep Tensor Neural Networks

Martin Stöhr, Leonardo Rafael Medrano Sandonas, Alexandre Tkatchenko

We combine density-functional tight binding (DFTB) with deep tensor neural networks (DTNN) to maximize the strengths of both approaches in predicting structural, energetic, and vibrational molecular properties. The DTNN is used to construct a nonlinear model for the localized many-body interatomic repulsive energy, which so far has been treated in an atom-pairwise manner in DFTB. Substantially improving upon standard DFTB and DTNN, the resulting DFTB-NNrep model yields accurate predictions of atomization and isomerization energies, equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and dihedral rotation profiles for a large variety of organic molecules compared to the hybrid DFT-PBE0 functional. Our results highlight the potential of combining semiempirical electronic-structure methods with physically motivated machine learning approaches for predicting localized many-body interactions. We conclude by discussing future advancements of the DFTB-NNrep approach that could enable chemically accurate electronic-structure calculations for systems with tens of thousands of atoms.

Neural tensor contractions and the expressive power of deep neural quantum states

Or Sharir, Amnon Shashua, Giuseppe Carleo

We establish a direct connection between general tensor networks and deep feed-forward artificial neural networks. The core of our results is the construction of neural-network layers that efficiently perform tensor contractions and that use commonly adopted nonlinear activation functions. The resulting deep networks feature a number of edges that closely match the contraction complexity of the tensor networks to be approximated. In the context of many-body quantum states, this result establishes that neural-network states have strictly the same or higher expressive power than practically usable variational tensor networks. As an example, we show that all matrix product states can be efficiently written as neural-network states with a number of edges polynomial in the bond dimension and depth that is logarithmic in the system size. The opposite instead does not hold true, and our results imply that there exist quantum states that are not efficiently expressible in terms of matrix product states or projected entangled pair states but that are instead efficiently expressible with neural network states.
