SpookyNet: Learning force fields with electronic degrees of freedom and nonlocal effects.

ABSTRACT: Machine-learned force fields combine the accuracy of ab initio methods with the efficiency of conventional force fields. However, current machine-learned force fields typically ignore electronic degrees of freedom, such as the total charge or spin state, and assume chemical locality, which is problematic when molecules have inconsistent electronic states, or when nonlocal effects play a significant role. This work introduces SpookyNet, a deep neural network for constructing machine-learned force fields with explicit treatment of electronic degrees of freedom and nonlocality, modeled via self-attention in a transformer architecture. Chemically meaningful inductive biases and analytical corrections built into the network architecture allow it to properly model physical limits. SpookyNet improves upon the current state-of-the-art (or achieves similar performance) on popular quantum chemistry data sets. Notably, it is able to generalize across chemical and conformational space and can leverage the learned chemical insights, e.g. by predicting unknown spin states, thus helping to close a further important remaining gap for today's machine learning models in quantum chemistry.

Machine Learning Force Fields.

Project description:In recent years, the use of machine learning (ML) in computational chemistry has enabled numerous advances previously out of reach due to the computational complexity of traditional electronic-structure methods. One of the most promising applications is the construction of ML-based force fields (FFs), with the aim to narrow the gap between the accuracy of ab initio methods and the efficiency of classical FFs. The key idea is to learn the statistical relation between chemical structure and potential energy without relying on a preconceived notion of fixed chemical bonds or knowledge about the relevant interactions. Such universal ML approximations are in principle only limited by the quality and quantity of the reference data used to train them. This review gives an overview of applications of ML-FFs and the chemical insights that can be obtained from them. The core concepts underlying ML-FFs are described in detail, and a step-by-step guide for constructing and testing them from scratch is given. The text concludes with a discussion of the challenges that remain to be overcome by the next generation of ML-FFs.

Two degrees of freedom, dynamic, hand-wrist EMG-force using a minimum number of electrodes.

Project description:Few studies have related the surface electromyogram (EMG) of forearm muscles to two degree of freedom (DoF) hand-wrist forces; ones that have, used large high-density electrode arrays that are impractical for most applied biomechanics research. Hence, we researched EMG-force in two DoFs-hand open-close paired with one wrist DoF-using as few as four conventional electrodes, comparing equidistant placement about the forearm to optimized site selection. Nine subjects produced 1-DoF and 2-DoF uniformly distributed random forces (bandlimited to 0.75 Hz) up to 30% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). EMG standard deviation (EMGσ) was related to force offline using linear dynamic regression models. For 1-DoF forces, average RMS errors using two optimally-sited electrodes ranged from 8.3 to 9.0 %MVC, depending on the DoF. For 2-DoFs, overall performance was best when training from both 1- and 2-DoF trials, giving average RMS errors using four optimally-sited electrodes of 9.2 %MVC for each DoF pair (hand open-close paired with one wrist DoF). For each model, additional optimally-sited electrodes showed little statistical improvement. Electrodes placed equidistant performed noticeably poorer than an equal number of electrodes that were optimally sited. The results suggest that reliable 2-DoF hand-wrist EMG-force with a small number of electrodes may be feasible.

A Modular 3-Degrees-of-Freedom Force Sensor for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery Research.

Project description:Effective force modulation during tissue manipulation is important for ensuring safe, robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). Strict requirements for in vivo applications have led to prior sensor designs that trade off ease of manufacture and integration against force measurement accuracy along the tool axis. Due to this trade-off, there are no commercial, off-the-shelf, 3-degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) force sensors for RMIS available to researchers. This makes it challenging to develop new approaches to indirect sensing and haptic feedback for bimanual telesurgical manipulation. We present a modular 3DoF force sensor that integrates easily with an existing RMIS tool. We achieve this by relaxing biocompatibility and sterilizability requirements and by using commercial load cells and common electromechanical fabrication techniques. The sensor has a range of ±5 N axially and ±3 N laterally with errors of below 0.15 N and maximum errors below 11% of the sensing range in all directions. During telemanipulation, a pair of jaw-mounted sensors achieved average errors below 0.15 N in all directions. It achieved an average grip force error of 0.156 N. The sensor is for bimanual haptic feedback and robotic force control in delicate tissue telemanipulation. As an open-source design, the sensors can be adapted to suit other non-RMIS robotic applications.

Two degrees of freedom quasi-static EMG-force at the wrist using a minimum number of electrodes.

Project description:Surface electromyogram-controlled powered hand/wrist prostheses return partial upper-limb function to limb-absent persons. Typically, one degree of freedom (DoF) is controlled at a time, with mode switching between DoFs. Recent research has explored using large-channel EMG systems to provide simultaneous, independent and proportional (SIP) control of two joints-but such systems are not practical in current commercial prostheses. Thus, we investigated site selection of a minimum number of conventional EMG electrodes in an EMG-force task, targeting four sites for a two DoF controller. In a laboratory experiment with 10 able-bodied subjects and three limb-absent subjects, 16 electrodes were placed about the proximal forearm. Subjects produced 1-DoF and 2-DoF slowly force-varying contractions up to 30% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). EMG standard deviation was related to forces via regularized regression. Backward stepwise selection was used to retain those progressively fewer electrodes that exhibited minimum error. For 1-DoF models using two retained electrodes (which mimics the current state of the art), subjects had average RMS errors of (depending on the DoF): 7.1-9.5% MVC for able-bodied and 13.7-17.1% MVC for limb-absent subjects. For 2-DoF models, subjects using four electrodes had errors on 1-DoF trials of 6.7-8.5% MVC for able-bodied and 11.9-14.0% MVC for limb-absent; and errors on 2-DoF trials of 9.9-11.2% MVC for able-bodied and 15.8-16.7% MVC for limb-absent subjects. For each model, retaining more electrodes did not statistically improve performance. The able-bodied results suggest that backward selection is a viable method for minimum error selection of as few as four electrode sites for these EMG-force tasks. Performance evaluation in a prosthesis control task is a necessary and logical next step for this site selection method.

On a classical limit for electronic degrees of freedom that satisfies the Pauli exclusion principle.

Project description:Fermions need to satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle: no two can be in the same state. This restriction is most compactly expressed in a second quantization formalism by the requirement that the creation and annihilation operators of the electrons satisfy anticommutation relations. The usual classical limit of quantum mechanics corresponds to creation and annihilation operators that satisfy commutation relations, as for a harmonic oscillator. We discuss a simple classical limit for Fermions. This limit is shown to correspond to an anharmonic oscillator, with just one bound excited state. The vibrational quantum number of this anharmonic oscillator, which is therefore limited to the range 0 to 1, is the classical analog of the quantum mechanical occupancy. This interpretation is also true for Bosons, except that they correspond to a harmonic oscillator so that the occupancy is from 0 up. The formalism is intended to be useful for simulating the behavior of highly correlated Fermionic systems, so the extension to many electron states is also discussed.

Contrastive Learning of Coarse-Grained Force Fields.

Project description:Coarse-grained models have proven helpful for simulating complex systems over long time scales to provide molecular insights into various processes. Methodologies for systematic parametrization of the underlying energy function or force field that describes the interactions among different components of the system are of great interest for ensuring simulation accuracy. We present a new method, potential contrasting, to enable efficient learning of force fields that can accurately reproduce the conformational distribution produced with all-atom simulations. Potential contrasting generalizes the noise contrastive estimation method with umbrella sampling to better learn the complex energy landscape of molecular systems. When applied to the Trp-cage protein, we found that the technique produces force fields that thoroughly capture the thermodynamics of the folding process despite the use of only α-carbons in the coarse-grained model. We further showed that potential contrasting could be applied over large data sets that combine the conformational ensembles of many proteins to improve force field transferability. We anticipate potential contrasting as a powerful tool for building general-purpose coarse-grained force fields.

Effective degrees of freedom: a flawed metaphor.

Project description:To most applied statisticians, a fitting procedure's degrees of freedom is synonymous with its model complexity, or its capacity for overfitting to data. In particular, it is often used to parameterize the bias-variance tradeoff in model selection. We argue that, on the contrary, model complexity and degrees of freedom may correspond very poorly. We exhibit and theoretically explore various fitting procedures for which degrees of freedom is not monotonic in the model complexity parameter, and can exceed the total dimension of the ambient space even in very simple settings. We show that the degrees of freedom for any non-convex projection method can be unbounded.

Thermoelectric degrees of freedom determining thermoelectric efficiency.

Project description:For over half a century, the development of thermoelectric materials has based on the dimensionless figure of merit zT , assuming that the efficiency is mainly determined by this single parameter. Here, we show that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is determined by three independent parameters, Zgen , τ, and β, which we call the three thermoelectric degrees of freedom (DoFs). Zgen is the well-defined mean of the traditional zT under nonzero temperature differences. The two additional parameters τ and β are gradients of material properties and crucial to evaluating the heat current altered by nonzero Thomson heat and asymmetric Joule heat escape. Each parameter is a figure of merit. Therefore, increasing one of the three DoFs leads to higher efficiency. Our finding explains why the single-parameter theory is inaccurate. Further, it suggests an alternative direction in material discovery and device design in thermoelectrics, such as high τ and β, beyond zT .

Machine Learning of Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Force Fields.

Project description: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 multibody terms that emerge from the dimensionality reduction.

Machine learning of accurate energy-conserving molecular force fields.

Project description:Using conservation of energy-a fundamental property of closed classical and quantum mechanical systems-we develop an efficient gradient-domain machine learning (GDML) approach to construct accurate molecular force fields using a restricted number of samples from ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) trajectories. The GDML implementation is able to reproduce global potential energy surfaces of intermediate-sized molecules with an accuracy of 0.3 kcal mol-1 for energies and 1 kcal mol-1 Å̊-1 for atomic forces using only 1000 conformational geometries for training. We demonstrate this accuracy for AIMD trajectories of molecules, including benzene, toluene, naphthalene, ethanol, uracil, and aspirin. The challenge of constructing conservative force fields is accomplished in our work by learning in a Hilbert space of vector-valued functions that obey the law of energy conservation. The GDML approach enables quantitative molecular dynamics simulations for molecules at a fraction of cost of explicit AIMD calculations, thereby allowing the construction of efficient force fields with the accuracy and transferability of high-level ab initio methods.
