• Abstract: Understanding kinetics and thermodynamics profile of biomolecules is necessary to understand their functional roles which has a major impact in mechanism driven drug discovery. Molecular dynamics simulation has been routinely used to understand conformational dynamics and molecular recognition in biomolecules. Statistical analysis of high-dimensional spatiotemporal data generated from molecular dynamics simulation requires identification of few low-dimensional variables which can describe essential dynamics of a system without significant loss of informations. In physical chemistry, these low-dimensional variables often called collective variables. Collective variables are used to generated reduced representation of free energy surface and calculate transition probabilities between different metastable basins. However the choice of collective variables is not trivial for complex systems. Collective variables ranges from geometric criteria's such as distances, dihedral angles to abstract ones such as weighted linear combinations of multiple geometric variables. Advent of machine learning algorithms led to increasing use of abstract collective variables to represent biomolecular dynamics. In this review, I will highlight several nuances of commonly used collective variables ranging from geometric to abstract ones. Further, I will put forward some cases where machine learning based collective variables were used to describe simple systems which in principle could have been described by geometric ones. Finally, I will put forward my thoughts on artificial general intelligence and how it can be used to discover and predict collective variables from spatiotemporal data generated by molecular dynamics simulations.

  We develop a systematic approach based on the information bottleneck to identify the relevant variables. We show that in the limit of high compression, the relevant variables are directly determined by the slowest-decaying eigenfunctions. It provides a firm foundation to construct interpretable deep learning tools that perform model reduction.

  We propose a new approach which allows, for the first time, to decouple the material representation from the incremental formulation. Inspired by the Thermodynamics-based Artificial Neural Networks (TANN) and the theory of the internal variables, the evolution TANN (eTANN) are continuous-time. Key feature of the proposed approach is the discovery of the evolution equations of the internal variables in the form of ordinary differential equations.

  A central goal for AI and causality is the joint discovery of abstract representations and causal structure. Existing environments for studying causal induction are poorly suited for this objective because they have complicated task-specific causal graphs. In this work, our goal is to facilitate research in learning representations of high-level variables as well as causal structures among them.
