Calculating the von Neumann entanglement entropy from experimental data is challenging due to its dependence on the complete wavefunction, forcing reliance on approximations like classical mutual information (MI). We propose a machine learning approach using a graph neural network for predicting the von Neumann entropy from experimentally accessible bitstrings. We tested this approach on a Rydberg ladder system and achieved a mean absolute error of 3.7 × 10-3 when testing it inside of its training range on a dataset with entropy ranging from 0 to 1.9, we also evaluated the mean absolute percentage error on the data that have its entropy larger than 0.01 of the maximum entropy(so we can avoid the areas of our phase space with near zero entropy) and got a relative error of 1.72%, outperforming MI-based bounds. When tested beyond this range, the model still delivers reasonable results. Furthermore, we demonstrate that fine tuning the model with a small dataset significantly improves its performance on data outside its original training range.
