Christoph Dellago: Machine Learning for Molecular Simulation: Some Successes, Challenges & Promises

Christoph Dellago: Machine Learning for Molecular Simulation: Some Successes, Challenges, and Promises The discussion starts at 27:12. Atomistic computer simulations of processes occurring at the water/oxide interface are challenging in several ways. Calculating atomic forces based on ab initio methods is computationally very demanding, and barrier crossing events may lead to long computation times. Both these aspects severely limit accessible system sizes and simulation times. In project P12, we will address these challenges using a combination of machine learning and advanced rare event sampling methods. In particular, using software developed in our group and collaborating with P03 Kresse, we will train neural network potentials based on the Behler-Parrinello approach for oxide/water interfaces, starting with the Fe3O4/water system studied in P11 Backus. We will pay special attention to error estimation and the correct treatment of long-range interactions. With the new potential, we will study the structure and dynamics of water near the oxide surface to provide the atomistic information necessary to rationalize the spectroscopy experiments of P11 Backus. Another important goal of P12 is to explore how deep generative models can enhance rare event simulations. For this purpose, we will apply normalizing flows, represented by deep neural networks, to trajectory space. The resulting improved transition path sampling simulations will be used to study reactive processes investigated experimentally in other subprojects of TACO. The talk was given at the TACO Kick-off Meeting in Vienna on September 28, 2021.
