Generalized quantum impurity models-which feature a few localized and strongly correlated degrees of freedom coupled to itinerant conduction electrons-describe diverse physical systems, from magnetic moments in metals to nanoelectronics quantum devices such as quantum dots or single-molecule transistors. Correlated materials can also be understood as self-consistent impurity models through dynamical mean-field theory. Accurate simulation of such models is challenging, especially at low temperatures, due to many-body effects from electronic interactions, resulting in strong renormalization. In particular, the interplay between local impurity complexity and Kondo physics is highly nontrivial. A common approach, which we further develop in this work, is to consider instead a simpler effective impurity model that still captures the low-energy physics of interest. The mapping from a bare to an effective model is typically done perturbatively, but even this can be difficult for complex systems, and the resulting effective model parameters can nevertheless be quite inaccurate. Here we develop a nonperturbative, unsupervised machine learning approach to systematically obtain low-energy effective impurity-type models, based on the renormalization-group framework. The method is shown to be general and flexible, as well as accurate and systematically improvable. We benchmark the method against exact results for the Anderson impurity model, and we provide an outlook for more complex models beyond the reach of existing methods.
