We assess Gaussian process (GP) regression as a technique to model interatomic forces in metal nanoclusters by analysing the performance of 2-body, 3-body and many-body kernel functions on a set of 19-atom Ni cluster structures. We find that 2-body GP kernels fail to provide faithful force estimates, despite succeeding in bulk Ni systems. However, both 3- and many-body kernels predict forces within a $sim$0.1 eV/$text{AA}$ average error even for small training datasets, and achieve high accuracy even on out-of-sample, high temperature, structures. While training and testing on the same structure always provides satisfactory accuracy, cross-testing on dissimilar structures leads to higher prediction errors, posing an extrapolation problem. This can be cured using heterogeneous training on databases that contain more than one structure, which results in a good trade-off between versatility and overall accuracy. Starting from a 3-body kernel trained this way, we build an efficient non-parametric 3-body force field that allows accurate prediction of structural properties at finite temperatures, following a newly developed scheme [Glielmo et al. PRB 97, 184307 (2018)]. We use this to assess the thermal stability of Ni$_{19}$ nanoclusters at a fractional cost of full ab initio calculations.
Machine learning algorithms have recently emerged as a tool to generate force fields which display accuracies approaching the ones of the ab-initio calculations they are trained on, but are much faster to compute. The enhanced computational speed of
Atomistic or ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations are widely used to predict thermodynamics and kinetics and relate them to molecular structure. A common approach to go beyond the time- and length-scales accessible with such computationally expen

The secondary Bjerknes force plays a significant role in the evolution of bubble clusters. However, due to the complex dependence of the force on multiple parameters, it is highly non-trivial to include the effects of this force in the simulations of
