Dislocations-the carrier of plastic deformation-are responsible for a wide range of mechanical properties of metals or semiconductors. Those line-like objects tend to form complex networks that are very difficult to characterize or to link to macroscopic properties on the specimen scale. In this work a machine learning based approach for classification of coarse-grained dislocation microstructures in terms of different dislocation density field variables is used. The performance of the model
