In this work, we investigate the nonlinear optical rectification (NOR) behavior of GaAs/AlGaAs core/shell nanodiscs (CSNDs) subjected to varying hydrostatic pressures and containing a central hydrogenic impurity. Using the finite element method (FEM), we numerically solve the Schrödinger equation under cylindrical symmetry to extract energy levels and wave functions. These results are employed to train several advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms, including artificial neural networks (ANN), convolutional neural networks (CNN), feed forward neural networks (FNN), gradient boosting regression (GBR), and support vector machines (SVM). The predictive performance of each model is evaluated by comparing predicted NOR coefficients with those obtained from FEM simulations across five different pressure values. The SVM and GBR models demonstrate near-perfect agreement with numerical data ((Formula presented) ), while the ANN and FNN models show strong generalization and learning capabilities. These findings highlight the potential of ML techniques to accurately and efficiently model complex optical phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, offering promising pathways for the design of next-generation optoelectronic devices.
