Project Description

The project addresses applications of machine learning techniques to multi-scale simulation of soft-matter systems. We focus on two aspects: The first is to build a coarser-grained model, e.g., using generic function approximators such as kernels or deep neural networks to learn latent representations of the coarser level dynamics from data. The second aspect is back-mapping, i.e., the reconstruction of a high-resolution simulation state corresponding to the coarse-grained state. In the next funding period, one main goal for both aspects will be efficiency. In addition, we will explore new applications for backmapping, where the coarse-scale information might come from different data sources.
