• Abstract summary: We propose a general method for learning pair interactions from data using differentiable simulations (DiffSim) DiffSim defines a loss function based on structural observables, such as the radial distribution function, through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The interaction potentials are then learned directly by gradient descent, using backpropagation to calculate the gradient of the structural loss metric.

• Abstract: Learning pair interactions from experimental or simulation data is of great interest for molecular simulations. We propose a general stochastic method for learning pair interactions from data using differentiable simulations (DiffSim). DiffSim defines a loss function based on structural observables, such as the radial distribution function, through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The interaction potentials are then learned directly by stochastic gradient descent, using backpropagation to calculate the gradient of the structural loss metric with respect to the interaction potential through the MD simulation. This gradient-based method is flexible and can be configured to simulate and optimize multiple systems simultaneously. For example, it is possible to simultaneously learn potentials for different temperatures or for different compositions. We demonstrate the approach by recovering simple pair potentials, such as Lennard-Jones systems, from radial distribution functions. We find that DiffSim can be used to probe a wider functional space of pair potentials compared to traditional methods like Iterative Boltzmann Inversion. We show that our methods can be used to simultaneously fit potentials for simulations at different compositions and temperatures to improve the transferability of the learned potentials.

  In drug discovery, molecular dynamics simulation provides a powerful tool for predicting binding affinities, estimating transport properties, and exploring pocket sites. We propose NeuralMD, the first machine learning surrogate that can facilitate numerical MD and provide accurate simulations in protein-ligand binding. We show the efficiency and effectiveness of NeuralMD, with a 2000$times$ speedup over standard numerical MD simulation and outperforming all other ML approaches by up to 80% under the stability metric.

We show that this method enables an equation based approach to reproduce non-linear, large Knudsen number plasma physics.

  Simulation-based inference enables learning the parameters of a model even when its likelihood cannot be computed in practice.
