We propose a novel paradigm to vector magnetometry based on machine learning. Unlike conventional schemes where one measured signal explicitly connects to one parameter, here we encode the three-dimensional magnetic-field information in the set of four simultaneously acquired signals, i.e., the oscillating optical rotation signal's harmonics of a frequency modulated laser beam traversing the atomic sample. The map between the recorded signals and the vectorial field information is established through a pre-trained deep neural network. We demonstrate experimentally a single-shot all optical vector atomic magnetometer, with a simple scalar-magnetometer design employing only one elliptically-polarized laser beam and no additional coils. Magnetic field amplitude sensitivities of about 100 $\textrm{fT}/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$ and angular sensitivities of about 100 $\mu rad/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$ (for a magnetic field of about 140 nT) are derived from the neural network. Our approach can reduce the complexity of the architecture of vector magnetometers, and may shed light on the general design of multiparameter sensing.
