This paper introduces a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) for rapid and accurate defect classification in nanocrystals using Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction patterns (CXDPs). The CNN is trained on simulated CXDPs generated from thousands of atomistic configurations of nanocrystals with various defects (screw and edge dislocations). The network successfully predicts the presence and type of dislocations, paving the way for automated defect recognition in materials science.
