Generative Modeling of Stochastic Dynamics for Long-Time Evolution

The paper demonstrates that long‑time stochastic dynamics can be predicted using generative diffusion models trained only on configuration pairs separated by a short, fixed time lag, without requiring the underlying equations of motion. Applied to two‑dimensional Model B and driven colloids in a periodic optical potential, the learned transition kernels accurately reproduce dynamic critical scaling, self‑similar coarsening, and experimental observables such as particle current and mean passage time, even on larger lattices and unseen initial conditions. This shows that short‑time observations contain sufficient information to forecast emergent non‑equilibrium behavior over extended periods.

Machine learning kinetics from molecular dynamics data

The article reviews modern machine learning techniques for estimating the committor and related kinetic statistics from molecular dynamics simulations. It emphasizes self‑supervised methods that solve the underlying dynamical equations instead of relying on labeled data, and unifies various approaches—generator‑based PDEs, variational principles, Markov state models, dynamical Galerkin approximation, and neural networks—under a common operator framework. The review also discusses practical guidance for handling non‑Markovian effects, sampling strategies, and outlines future research directions such as connections to reinforcement learning and generative modeling.

Physics-Constrained Neural Surrogate for Domain Growth Prediction in Systems with Conserved Kinetics

The paper introduces a physics-constrained neural network surrogate that learns the microstructural evolution of binary mixtures governed by the Cahn‑Hilliard equation. By imposing conservation of the order parameter as a hard constraint on the network output, the model accurately predicts long‑time phase‑separation dynamics for both critical and off‑critical mixtures, maintaining mixture composition and matching the Lifshitz‑Slyozov domain‑growth law. A variant that enforces conservation only through a penalty term drifts from the initial composition and loses predictive accuracy over long rollouts, underscoring the necessity of the hard constraint for stability.

Drift-Diffusion Matching: Embedding dynamics in latent manifolds of asymmetric neural networks

arXiv:2602. 14885v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a theoretical framework for understanding computation in biological neural circuits, yet classical results, such as Hopfield's model of associative memory, rely on symmetric connectivity that restricts network dynamics to gradient-like flows.

Neural non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics for long-time simulations

arXiv:2510. 01788v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work focuses on learning non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics from data, where long-term predictions require the preservation of structure both in the learned model and in numerical schemes.
