arXiv:2606. 04100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable efficient and accurate atomistic simulations but depend critically on the quality and diversity of the training data.
arXiv:2608. 07648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sampling high-dimensional probability distributions is a central task in scientific computing, with applications ranging from Bayesian inference to statistical physics and molecular simulation.
arXiv:2608. 08704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel spectral clustering with a single bandwidth can be inadequate for data exhibiting multiple characteristic pairwise-distance scales, a problem particularly prevalent in the high-dimensional regime.

We address the problem of efficiently sampling multimodal probability distributions, where standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods often suffer from poor mixing and mode trapping. To mitigate these issues, we propose Gradient-free Riemannian Langevin Sampler (GRiLS), a novel proposal that improves exploration without requiring gradient evaluations of the target density.
arXiv:2605. 00337v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sampling the distribution of collective variables (CVs) and estimating the associated free energy surface are crucial problems in statistical physics, as they underpin a better understanding of chemical reactions and conformational transitions.
