Description
We examine the classic datasbase of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in weighted P4s with tools from supervised and unsupervised machine-learning. Surprising linear behaviour arises with respect to the Calabi-Yau’s Hodge numbers, with a natural clustering of the spaces. In addition, simple supervised methods learn to identify weights which produce spaces with CY hypersurfaces, with improved performance where the Hodge numbers take extreme values.
