Query: Machine learning spectral functions in lattice QCD   We study the inverse problem of reconstructing spectral functions from
Euclidean correlation functions via machine learning. We propose a novel
neutral network, sVAE, which is based on the variational autoencoder (VAE) and
can be naturally applied to the inverse problem. The prominent feature of the
sVAE is that a Shannon-Jaynes entropy term having the ground truth values of
spectral functions as prior information is included in the loss function to be
minimized. We train the network with general spectral functions produced from a
Gaussian mixture model. As a test, we use correlators generated from four
different types of physically motivated spectral functions made of one
resonance peak, a continuum term and perturbative spectral function obtained
using non-relativistic QCD. From the mock data test we find that the sVAE in
most cases is comparable to the maximum entropy method (MEM) in the quality of
reconstructing spectral functions and even outperforms the MEM in the case
where the spectral function has sharp peaks with insufficient number of data
points in the correlator. By applying to temporal correlation functions of
charmonium in the pseudoscalar channel obtained in the quenched lattice QCD at
0.75 $T_c$ on $128^3\times96$ lattices and $1.5$ $T_c$ on $128^3\times48$
lattices, we find that the resonance peak of $\eta_c$ extracted from both the
sVAE and MEM has a substantial dependence on the number of points in the
temporal direction ($N_\tau$) adopted in the lattice simulation and $N_\tau$
larger than 48 is needed to resolve the fate of $\eta_c$ at 1.5 $T_c$.
