Using simulations at multiple imaginary chemical potentials for (2 + 1)-flavor QCD, we construct multi-point Padé approximants. We determine the singularties of the Padé approximants and demonstrate that they are consistent with the expected universal scaling behaviour of the Lee-Yang edge singularities. We also use a machine learning model, Masked Autoregressive Density Estimator (MADE), to estimate the density of the Lee-Yang edge singularities at each temperature. This ML model allows us to interpolate between the temperatures. Finally, we extrapolate to the QCD critical point using an appropriate scaling ansatz.  \n1 Introduction  \nOur ability to predict thermodynamic observables and determine the QCD critical point at real values of chemical potentials is severely limited by the infamous sign problem. To address this issue, there are two common approaches: expanding the QCD partition function ina Taylor series with respect to the charge chemical potentials (µB , µQ , µS ) [1, 2] or analytically continuing from imaginary chemical potentials [3, 4] . However, both methods have limitations, particularly for larger values of the baryon chemical potential. Recently, we proposed a multi-point Padé approach [5, 6] .  \nIn this proceeding, we will focus on the QCD critical point, which will emerge at a real value of the baryon chemical potential. We use the multi-point Padé approach to locate the Lee-Yang edge (LYE) singularities in the complex chemical potential plane, which are obtained from lattice QCD simulated data. The universal scaling of singularities in the vicinity of the QCD critical endpoint is also investigated. LYEs associated with the QCD critical point at real chemical potential for various temperatures are calculated. As the temperature decreases, the imaginary part of the singularities becomes smaller, hinting at the possible existence of a critical point at low temperature. A machine learning technique is used to model the probability density of the singularities and interpolate the real and imaginary parts of the  \n∗ e-mail: [jishnu.goswami@riken.jp](jishnu.goswami@riken.jp)  \nFigure 1.

By employing a suitable scaling ansatz, the singularities are extrapolated towards the real axis, and the possible location of the QCD critical point is estimated. Preliminary results of (TCEPc, µCEPB) are consistent with model predictions and other lattice QCD calculations [7–9] . Recently, there are also other estimates for the QCD critical point from LYEs [10, 11] .  \nIn the following sections we present the LYEs obtained for (2+1)-flavor QCD at each temperature. We use two methods, one based on a universal scaling ansatz and one based on a machine learning ansatz, to interpolate the data between the temperatures. Finally, we extrapolate the LYEs to the QCD critical point. We performed simulations at four temperature values for the lattice size 363 × 6 with multiple imaginary chemical potential values. The temperature scales are chosen according to the parametrization given in [7] in the fK s","cbCaifqnTYJXgVHb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifqnTYJXgVHb","pdf",1693411,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# LYEs and related scaling of the QCD critical point\n# Machine learning model for the LYEs and extrapolation to the critical point","[{\"question\":\"Why are imaginary chemical potentials used in this study?\",\"answer\":\"The approach circumvents the sign problem by relying on simulations at imaginary chemical potentials, enabling the reconstruction of relevant singularity information before extrapolating to real chemical potentials.\"},{\"question\":\"How are Lee-Yang edge singularities located and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Multi-point Padé approximants are built from lattice data, and their poles/singularities are determined.
