Description

Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are energy-based machine learning models inspired by the spin-glass system. Using its energy function, we can analyse its training dynamics in terms of statistical mechanics and map its hyperparameters to thermodynamic quantities. This interpretability unravels the black-box nature of the machine-learning process and allows us to understand the underlying mechanisms.
