• Authors: Eleonora Ricci, George Giannakopoulos, Vangelis Karkaletsis, Doros N. Theodorou, Niki Vergadou
• Abstract summary: Coarse graining (CG) enables the investigation of molecular properties for larger systems and at longer timescales than the ones attainable at the atomistic resolution. Machine learning techniques have been recently proposed to learn CG particle interactions, i.e. develop CG force fields. In this work, the force acting on each CG particle is correlated to a learned representation of its local environment that goes under the name of SchNet, constructed via continuous filter convolutions.

• Abstract: Coarse graining (CG) enables the investigation of molecular properties for larger systems and at longer timescales than the ones attainable at the atomistic resolution. Machine learning techniques have been recently proposed to learn CG particle interactions, i.e. develop CG force fields. Graph representations of molecules and supervised training of a graph convolutional neural network architecture are used to learn the potential of mean force through a force matching scheme. In this work, the force acting on each CG particle is correlated to a learned representation of its local environment that goes under the name of SchNet, constructed via continuous filter convolutions. We explore the application of SchNet models to obtain a CG potential for liquid benzene, investigating the effect of model architecture and hyperparameters on the thermodynamic, dynamical, and structural properties of the simulated CG systems, reporting and discussing challenges encountered and future directions envisioned.

  GauSim is a novel neural network-based simulator designed to capture the dynamic behaviors of real-world elastic objects represented through Gaussian kernels. We leverage continuum mechanics, modeling each kernel as a continuous piece of matter to account for realistic deformations without idealized assumptions. GauSim incorporates explicit physics constraints, such as mass and momentum conservation, ensuring interpretable results and robust, physically plausible simulations.

• Statistically Optimal Force Aggregation for Coarse-Graining Molecular Dynamics [55.41644538483948]
  coarse-grained (CG) models have the potential to simulate large molecular complexes beyond what is possible with atomistic molecular dynamics. A widely used methodology for learning CG force-fields maps forces from all-atom molecular dynamics to the CG representation and matches them with a CG force-field on average. We show that there is flexibility in how to map all-atom forces to the CG representation, and that the most commonly used mapping methods are statistically inefficient and potentially even incorrect in the presence of constraints in the all-atom simulation.

  We leverage connections between score-based generative models, force fields and molecular dynamics to learn a CG force field without requiring any force inputs during training. While having a vastly simplified training setup compared to previous work, we demonstrate that our approach leads to improved performance across several small- to medium-sized protein simulations.

  We present a machine learning framework and model implementation that can learn to simulate a wide variety of challenging physical domains. Our framework---which we term "Graph Network-based Simulators" (GNS)--represents the state of a physical system with particles, expressed as nodes in a graph, and computes dynamics via learned message-passing. Our results show that our model can generalize from single-timestep predictions with thousands of particles during training, to different initial conditions, thousands of timesteps, and at least an order of magnitude more particles at test time.
