ABSTRACT
A novel method is developed to analyze the structural formation of colloidal particles based on image recognition via a convolutional neural network (CNN). This makes it possible to analyze various complex structures that are difficult to study using a traditional bond-order parameter analysis. Molecular dynamics simulations on soft colloidal systems are performed in quasi two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems, and the efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated.
