Machine learning has recently been applied to many problems in condensed matter physics. A common point of many proposals is to save computational cost by training the machine with data from a simple example and then using the machine to make predictions for a more complicated example. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have proved to work well for assessing eigenfunctions in disordered systems [1]. Here we apply a CNN to assess Kohn–Sham (KS) eigenfunctions obtained in density functional theory simulations of the metal–insulator transition in a doped semiconductor. We find that a CNN trained using data from a simulation of a doped
semiconductor that neglects electron spin successfully predicts the critical concentration when presented with eigenfunctions from simulations that include spin [2].
