Accelerated sampling with data-augmented autoencoders

This is the framework for running accelerated sampling with data-augmented autoencoders.

Some other Python scientific calculation packages (e.g. seaborn, pandas, sklearn) are also needed, it is recommended to install them with Anaconda: https://www.continuum.io/downloads

Installation and preparation

No installation is required. You may simply have all dependent packages installed and checkout this repository.

It is highly recommended to run tests before running code to make sure packages are correctly installed.

Testing

This package uses nosetest framework. To run testing, run

root_dir=MD_simulation_on_alanine_dipeptide/current_work
cd ${root_dir}/tests
make test

Tests include numerical unit tests (for tests with clear expected results) and figure plots (for others, such as neural network training).

1-minute quick start

Go ahead to modify configuration file ${root_dir}/src/config.py, and run

python main_work.py

For more options, type

python main_work.py --help

Quick introduction to autoencoders

A typical autoencoder consists of encoder ANN and decoder ANN, where encoder ANN maps inputs to a small number of collective variables (CVs) in encoding layer and decoder ANN tries to reconstruct inputs (or some variants of inputs) from CVs:

A typical 5-layer structure is given below:

For traditional autoencoders, we minimize

$$E=|A(x)-x|^2 + R$$

where $A$ is autoencoder mapping function, $R$ is regularization term.

To remove external degrees of freedom, we use data-augmented autoencoders, which minimizes

$$E=|A(x)-L(x)|^2 + R$$

where $L$ is the alignment function responsible for data augmentation. It can be written in "cat form" as (cat = molecule configuration, little human = alignment function L):

To possibly remove dependency on specific reference, we apply multiple references to data-augmented autoencoders, corresponding error function is

$$E=\sum_j |A_j(x)-L_j(x)|^2 + R$$

where $A_j$ are autoencoders that share all but the last layer, and $L_j$ is alignment functions with respect to reference $j$.

If we want to see relative importance among these CVs, we construct multiple outputs with each output taking contribution from some of CVs in encoding layer. Two possible types of network topology are given below:

Corresponding error function is then

$$E=E_{1}+E_{1,2}+E_{1,2,3}+...$$

where $E_{1}$ is reconstruction error when only 1st CV is used to compute output, $E_{1,2}$ is reconstruction error when only first two CVs are used to compute output, ...

See slides for more information: (TODO)

Directory structure

Directories are arranged as follows:

${root_dir}/src: source code
${root_dir}/target: output of simulation data (pdb files and coordinate files)
${root_dir}/resources: training results (autoencoders), and reference configurations files (pdb files)
${root_dir}/tests: test source code

Extensions

1. apply to new molecules

  1. Create a subclass of Sutils for the molecule and implement corresponding methods in ${root_dir}/src/molecule_spec_sutils.py.

  2. Include molecule-specific information in the configuration file ${root_dir}/src/config.py, and modify corresponding configuration settings.

  3. Modify biased simulation file (${root_dir}/src/biased_simulation_general.py) for the new molecule.

  4. Add molecule-related statements to ${root_dir}/src/ANN_simulation.py and ${root_dir}/src/autoencoders.py whenever Trp_cage appears.

2. use a new neural network architecture or switch to a new training backend

  1. Create a subclass of autoencoder for the new structure/backend and do implementation. Note that all abstract methods (@abc.abstractmethod) must be implemented.

  2. Include new network information in the configuration file ${root_dir}/src/config.py.

3. apply a new potential center selection algorithm

Modify method Sutils.get_boundary_points() in ${root_dir}/src/molecule_spec_sutils.py.

4. use a new simulation package

Modify biased_simulation.py or biased_simulation_general.py
