An active learning strategy is proposed to train this algorithm with a minimal set of 210 nuclei. This approach enables future fast studies of the influence of EDFs parametrizations on structure properties over the whole nuclear chart and suggests that for the first time an artificial intelligence successfully encoded the laws of nuclear deformation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-09T17:17:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deep neural networks", "taming nuclear complexity", "state-of-the-art nuclear energy density functionals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
