• Abstract: Recently developed neural network-based \emph{ab-initio} solutions (Pfau et. al arxiv:1909.02487v2) for finding ground states of fermionic systems can generate state-of-the-art results on a broad class of systems. In this work, we improve the results for this Ansatz with Diffusion Monte Carlo. Additionally, we introduce several modifications to the network (Fermi Net) and optimization method (Kronecker Factored Approximate Curvature) that reduce the number of required resources while maintaining or improving the modelling performance. In terms of the model, we remove redundant computations and alter the way data is handled in the permutation equivariant function. The Diffusion Monte Carlo results exceed or match state-of-the-art performance for all systems investigated: atomic systems Be-Ne, and the carbon cation C$^+$.

  We present a deep state-space model which employs graph neural networks in order to model the underlying interacting dynamical system. The predictive distribution is multimodal and has the form of a Gaussian mixture model, where the moments of the Gaussian components can be computed via deterministic moment matching rules. Our moment matching scheme can be exploited for sample-free inference, leading to more efficient and stable training compared to Monte Carlo alternatives.

• Nonlinear State-Space Generalizations of Graph Convolutional Neural Networks [172.18295279061607]
  Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs) learn compositional representations from network data by nesting linear graph convolutions into nonlinearities. In this work, we approach GCNNs from a state-space perspective revealing that the graph convolutional module is a minimalistic linear state-space model. We show that this state update may be problematic because it is nonparametric, and depending on the graph spectrum it may explode or vanish. We propose a novel family of nodal aggregation rules that aggregate node features within a layer in a nonlinear state-space parametric fashion allowing for a better trade-off.
