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 expensive simulations is the definition of coarse-grained molecular models. Existing coarse-graining approaches define an effective interaction potential to match defined properties of high-resolution models or experimental data. In this paper, we reformulate coarse-graining as a supervised machine learning problem. We use statistical learning theory to decompose the coarse-graining error and cross-validation to select and compare the performance of different models. We introduce CGnets, a deep learning approach, that learns coarse-grained free energy functions and can be trained by a force matching scheme. CGnets maintain all physically relevant invariances and allow one to incorporate prior physics knowledge to avoid sampling of unphysical structures. We show that CGnets can capture all-atom explicit-solvent free energy surfaces with models using only a few coarse-grained beads and no solvent, while classical coarse-graining methods fail to capture crucial features of the free energy surface. Thus, CGnets are able to capture multi-body terms that emerge from the dimensionality reduction.

Machine learning encompasses a set of tools and algorithms which are now becoming popular in almost all scientific and technological fields. This is true for molecular dynamics as well, where machine learning offers promises of extracting valuable in formation from the enormous amounts of data generated by simulation of complex systems. We provide here a review of our current understanding of goals, benefits, and limitations of machine learning techniques for computational studies on atomistic systems, focusing on the construction of empirical force fields from ab-initio databases and the determination of reaction coordinates for free energy computation and enhanced sampling.
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 G P 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 machine learning force fields results key for modelling metallic nanoparticles, as their fluxionality and multi-funneled energy landscape needs to be sampled over long time scales. In this review, we first formally introduce the most commonly used machine learning algorithms for force field generation, briefly outlining their structure and properties. We then address the core issue of training database selection, reporting methodologies both already used and yet unused in literature. We finally report and discuss the recent literature regarding machine learning force fields to sample the energy landscape and study the catalytic activity of metallic nanoparticles.
The combination of high-dimensionality and disparity of time scales encountered in many problems in computational physics has motivated the development of coarse-grained (CG) models. In this paper, we advocate the paradigm of data-driven discovery fo r extract- ing governing equations by employing fine-scale simulation data. In particular, we cast the coarse-graining process under a probabilistic state-space model where the transition law dic- tates the evolution of the CG state variables and the emission law the coarse-to-fine map. The directed probabilistic graphical model implied, suggests that given values for the fine- grained (FG) variables, probabilistic inference tools must be employed to identify the cor- responding values for the CG states and to that end, we employ Stochastic Variational In- ference. We advocate a sparse Bayesian learning perspective which avoids overfitting and reveals the most salient features in the CG evolution law. The formulation adopted enables the quantification of a crucial, and often neglected, component in the CG process, i.e. the pre- dictive uncertainty due to information loss. Furthermore, it is capable of reconstructing the evolution of the full, fine-scale system. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed frame- work in high-dimensional systems of random walkers.

Molecular dynamics is a powerful simulation tool to explore material properties. Most of the realistic material systems are too large to be simulated with first-principles molecular dynamics. Classical molecular dynamics has lower computational cost but requires accurate force fields to achieve chemical accuracy. In this work, we develop a symmetry-adapted graph neural networks framework, named molecular dynamics graph neural networks (MDGNN), to construct force fields automatically for molecular dynamics simulations for both molecules and crystals. This architecture consistently preserves the translation, rotation and permutation invariance in the simulations. We propose a new feature engineering method including higher order contributions and show that MDGNN accurately reproduces the results of both classical and first-principles molecular dynamics. We also demonstrate that force fields constructed by the model has good transferability. Therefore, MDGNN provides an efficient and promising option for molecular dynamics simulations of large scale systems with high accuracy.
