Abstract

The transition to Euclidean space and the discretization of quantum field theories on spatial or space-time lattices opens up the opportunity to investigate probabilistic machine learning within quantum field theory. Here, we will discuss how discretized Euclidean field theories, such as the ϕ 4 lattice field theory on a square lattice, are mathematically equivalent to Markov fields, a notable class of probabilistic graphical models with applications in a variety of research areas, including machine learning. The results are established based on the Hammersley-Clifford theorem. We will then derive neural networks from quantum field theories and discuss applications pertinent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for the probability distribution of the ϕ 4 machine learning algorithms and other probability distributions.
