摘要
En 中文
From physics and biology to seismology and economics, the behaviour of countless systems is determined by impactful yet unlikely transitions between metastable states known as rare events, the study of which is essential for understanding and controlling the properties of these systems. Classical computational methods to sample rare events remain prohibitively inefficient and are bottlenecks for enhanced samplers that require prior data. Here we introduce a physics-informed machine learning framework, normalizing Flow enhanced Rare Event Sampler (FlowRES), which uses unsupervised normalizing flow neural networks to enhance Monte Carlo sampling of rare events by generating high-quality non-local Monte Carlo proposals. We validated FlowRES by sampling the transition path ensembles of equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems of Brownian particles, exploring increasingly complex potentials. Beyond eliminating the requirements for prior data, FlowRES features key advantages over established samplers: no collective variables need to be defined, efficiency remains constant even as events become increasingly rare and systems with multiple routes between states can be straightforwardly simulated. Sampling rare events is key to various fields of science, but current methods are inefficient. Asghar and colleagues propose a rare event sampler based on normalizing flow neural networks that requires no prior data or collective variables, works at and out of equilibrium and keeps efficiency constant as events become rarer.
