Uncertainty Quantification for Molecular Dynamics

Paul N. Patrone, Andrew Dienstfrey

英文摘要：

The goals of this chapter are twofold. First, we wish to introduce molecular dynamics (MD) and uncertainty quantification (UQ) in a common setting in order to demonstrate how the latter can increase confidence in the former. In some cases, this discussion culminates in our providing practical, mathematical tools that can be used to answer the question, "is this simulation reliable?" However, many questions remain unanswered. Thus, a second goal of this work is to highlight open problems where progress would aid the larger community.

A Flexible Uncertainty Quantification Framework for General Multi-Physics Systems

We present a "module-based hybrid" Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) framework for general nonlinear multi-physics simulation. The proposed methodology, introduced in [\hyperlink{ref1}{1}], supports the independent development of each \emph{stochastic} linear or nonlinear physics module equipped with the most suitable probabilistic UQ method: non-intrusive, semi-intrusive or intrusive; and provides a generic framework to couple these stochastic simulation components. Moreover, the methodology is illustrated using a common "global" uncertainty representation scheme based on generalized polynomial…

Preconditioned BFGS-based Uncertainty Quantification in elastic Full Waveform Inversion

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) plays a vital role in reconstructing geophysical structures. The Uncertainty Quantification regarding the inversion results is equally important but has been missing out in most of the current geophysical inversions. Mathematically, uncertainty quantification is involved with the inverse Hessian (or the posterior covariance matrix), which is prohibitive in computation and storage for practical geophysical FWI problems. L-BFGS populates as the most efficient Gauss-Newton method; however, in this study, we empower it with the new possibility of accessing the inverse…

Non-intrusive and semi-intrusive uncertainty quantification of a multiscale in-stent restenosis model

Uncertainty estimations are presented of the response of a multiscale in-stent restenosis model, as obtained by both non-intrusive and semi-intrusive uncertainty quantification. The in-stent restenosis model is a fully coupled multiscale simulation of post-stenting tissue growth, in which the most costly submodel is the blood flow simulation. Surrogate modeling for non-intrusive uncertainty quantification takes the whole model as a black-box and maps directly from the three uncertain inputs to the quantity of interest, the neointimal area. The corresponding uncertain estimates matched the resu…

Quantification of Model Uncertainty in RANS Simulations: A Review

In computational fluid dynamics simulations of industrial flows, models based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) equations are expected to play an important role in decades to come. However, model uncertainties are still a major obstacle for the predictive capability of RANS simulations. This review examines both the parametric and structural uncertainties in turbulence models. We review recent literature on data-free (uncertainty propagation) and data-driven (statistical inference) approaches for quantifying and reducing model uncertainties in RANS simulations. Moreover, the funda…

Self-optimized construction of transition rate matrices from accelerated atomistic simulations with Bayesian uncertainty quantification

A massively parallel method to build large transition rate matrices from temperature accelerated molecular dynamics trajectories is presented. Bayesian Markov model analysis is used to estimate the expected residence time in the known state space, providing crucial uncertainty quantification for higher scale simulation schemes such as kinetic Monte Carlo or cluster dynamics. The estimators are additionally used to optimize where exploration is performed and the degree of temperature ac- celeration on the fly, giving an autonomous, optimal procedure to explore the state space of complex systems…

EZFF: Python Library for Multi-Objective Parameterization and Uncertainty Quantification of Interatomic Forcefields for Molecular Dynamics

Parameterization of interatomic forcefields is a necessary first step in performing molecular dynamics simulations. This is a non-trivial global optimization problem involving quantification of multiple empirical variables against one or more properties. We present EZFF, a lightweight Python library for parameterization of several types of interatomic forcefields implemented in several molecular dynamics engines against multiple objectives using genetic-algorithm-based global optimization methods. The EZFF scheme provides unique functionality such as the parameterization of hybrid forcefields …

Heuristics and Uncertainty Quantification in Rational and Inverse Compound and Catalyst Design

The goal of inverse (quantum) approaches is to devise methods and approaches capable of efficiently searching chemical space in such a way that the design of novel materials and compounds with specific properties is as direct and efficient as possible. Here, we review the current state of the field with a focus on the most recent developments. We discuss the importance of heuristic rules and human intuition for rational compound design. Moreover, we elaborate on options for reliable uncertainty quantification for computational results, which is crucial for a truly predictive application of any…

The Role of Data Analysis in Uncertainty Quantification: Case Studies for Materials Modeling

In computational materials science, mechanical properties are typically extracted from simulations by means of analysis routines that seek to mimic their experimental counterparts. However, simulated data often exhibit uncertainties that can propagate into final predictions in unexpected ways. Thus, modelers require data analysis tools that (i) address the problems posed by simulated data, and (ii) facilitate uncertainty quantification. In this manuscript, we discuss three case studies in materials modeling where careful data analysis can be leveraged to address specific instances of these iss…

Efficient Uncertainty Quantification for Dynamic Subsurface Flow with Surrogate by Theory-guided Neural Network

College of Engineering, Peking University（北京大学工学院）；School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology（南方科技大学环境科学与工程学院）；Peng Cheng Laboratory（鹏城实验室）

Subsurface flow problems usually involve some degree of uncertainty. Consequently, uncertainty quantification is commonly necessary for subsurface flow prediction. In this work, we propose a methodology for efficient uncertainty quantification for dynamic subsurface flow with a surrogate constructed by the Theory-guided Neural Network (TgNN). The TgNN here is specially designed for problems with stochastic parameters. In the TgNN, stochastic parameters, time and location comprise the input of the neural network, while the quantity of interest is the output. The neural network is trained with a…

Deep learning of parameterized equations with applications to uncertainty quantification

We propose a numerical method for discovering unknown parameterized dynamical systems by using observational data of the state variables. Our method is built upon and extends the recent work of discovering unknown dynamical systems, in particular those using deep neural network (DNN). We propose a DNN structure, largely based upon the residual network (ResNet), to not only learn the unknown form of the governing equation but also take into account the random effect embedded in the system, which is generated by the random parameters. Once the DNN model is successfully constructed, it is able to…

An exact framework for uncertainty quantification in Monte Carlo simulation

In the context of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of particle transport Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) addresses the issue of predicting non statistical errors affecting the physical results, i.e. errors deriving mainly from uncertainties in the physics data and/or in the model they embed. In the case of a single uncertainty a simple analytical relation exists among its the Probability Density Function (PDF) and the corresponding PDF for the output of the simulation: this allows a complete statistical analysis of the results of the simulation. We examine the extension of this result to the multi-…

Bayesian Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Networks for Surrogate Modeling and Uncertainty Quantification

University of Notre Dame（圣母大学）

We are interested in the development of surrogate models for uncertainty quantification and propagation in problems governed by stochastic PDEs using a deep convolutional encoder-decoder network in a similar fashion to approaches considered in deep learning for image-to-image regression tasks. Since normal neural networks are data intensive and cannot provide predictive uncertainty, we propose a Bayesian approach to convolutional neural nets. A recently introduced variational gradient descent algorithm based on Stein's method is scaled to deep convolutional networks to perform approximate Baye…

Enhanced adaptive surrogate models with applications in uncertainty quantification for nanoplasmonics

We propose an efficient surrogate modeling technique for uncertainty quantification. The method is based on a well-known dimension-adaptive collocation scheme. We improve the scheme by enhancing sparse polynomial surrogates with conformal maps and adjoint error correction. The methodology is applied to Maxwell's source problem with random input data. This setting comprises many applications of current interest from computational nanoplasmonics, such as grating couplers or optical waveguides. Using a non-trivial benchmark model we show the benefits and drawbacks of using enhanced surrogate mode…
