• Abstract: Understanding material surfaces and interfaces is vital in applications like catalysis or electronics. By combining energies from electronic structure with statistical mechanics, ab initio simulations can in principle predict the structure of material surfaces as a function of thermodynamic variables. However, accurate energy simulations are prohibitive when coupled to the vast phase space that must be statistically sampled. Here, we present a bi-faceted computational loop to predict surface phase diagrams of multi-component materials that accelerates both the energy scoring and statistical sampling methods. Fast, scalable, and data-efficient machine learning interatomic potentials are trained on high-throughput density-functional theory calculations through closed-loop active learning. Markov-chain Monte Carlo sampling in the semi-grand canonical ensemble is enabled by using virtual surface sites. The predicted surfaces for GaN(0001), Si(111), and SrTiO3(001) are in agreement with past work and suggest that the proposed strategy can model complex material surfaces and discover previously unreported surface terminations.

  Solving fluid dynamics equations often requires the use of closure relations that account for missing microphysics. In our study, a partial differential equation simulator that is end-to-end differentiable is used to train judiciously placed neural networks. We show that this method enables an equation based approach to reproduce non-linear, large Knudsen number plasma physics.

• Learning Large-scale Subsurface Simulations with a Hybrid Graph Network Simulator [57.57321628587564]
  We introduce Hybrid Graph Network Simulator (HGNS) for learning reservoir simulations of 3D subsurface fluid flows. HGNS consists of a subsurface graph neural network (SGNN) to model the evolution of fluid flows, and a 3D-U-Net to model the evolution of pressure. Using an industry-standard subsurface flow dataset (SPE-10) with 1.1 million cells, we demonstrate that HGNS is able to reduce the inference time up to 18 times compared to standard subsurface simulators.
