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.

arXiv:2606. 01086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow and diffusion models generate high-quality samples in many modalities; however, many network evaluations are required during inference due to numerical integration of an underlying differential equation.

Studying the dynamical behavior of a system often depends on characterizing how it transitions between long-lived states. Because such transitions are rare, observing them usually requires specialized...
The paper introduces GenAIMMD, an iterative algorithm that learns the committor function and trains a conditioned Boltzmann Generator to generate uncorrelated transition paths without prior knowledge of the reaction coordinate. This method combines transition path sampling with committor learning, enabling fully parallelizable sampling. Benchmarks on a toy model and a polymer system show a substantial performance improvement over standard TPS.
