Original abstract

The prediction of masses of atomic nuclei using machine learning can complement theoretical models and advance the exploration of poorly known domains of the nuclear chart. We propose a machine learning technique based on gated recurrent units (GRU), which have demonstrated competitive performance in nuclear-mass prediction by exploiting long-term dependencies. By integrating multiplicative interactions and product-unit transformations within recurrent units, we report significant improvements in nuclear-mass prediction. Computations are performed in the complex domain to jointly capture amplitude and phase dynamics. For interpolation and temporal-extrapolation tasks based on the atomic mass evaluation (AME2016 and AME2020), the complex additive-multiplicative product-unit gated recurrent unit (AM-PU-GRU) model consistently achieves the lowest prediction errors, with an interpolation RMSE of 0.227 $\pm$ 0.004 MeV and an extrapolation RMSE of 0.179 $\pm$ 0.015 MeV. These results surpass other state-of-the-art machine learning models and also outperform the real-valued GRU baseline and product-unit ablation variants, while remaining robust to different theoretical priors, including WS4 and SEMF. Our findings establish complex-valued product-unit recurrent networks as a new benchmark for sequence-based nuclear-mass prediction.
