Learning efficient erasure protocols for an underdamped memory
Nicolas Barros, Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We apply evolutionary reinforcement learning to a simulation model in order to identify efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for a physical realization of a one-bit memory by…
Learning to grow: control of material self-assembly using evolutionary reinforcement learning
Stephen Whitelam, Isaac Tamblyn
We show that neural networks trained by evolutionary reinforcement learning can enact efficient molecular self-assembly protocols. Presented with molecular simulation trajectories,…
Evolutionary reinforcement learning of dynamical large deviations
Stephen Whitelam, Daniel Jacobson, Isaac Tamblyn
We show how to calculate the likelihood of dynamical large deviations using evolutionary reinforcement learning. An agent, a stochastic model, propagates a continuous-time Monte Ca…
Direct evaluation of dynamical large-deviation rate functions using a variational ansatz
Daniel Jacobson, Stephen Whitelam
We describe a simple form of importance sampling designed to bound and compute large-deviation rate functions for time-extensive dynamical observables in continuous-time Markov cha…
Multi-point nonequilibrium umbrella sampling and associated fluctuation relations
Stephen Whitelam
We describe a simple method of umbrella trajectory sampling for Markov chains. The method allows the estimation of large-deviation rate functions, for path-extensive dynamic observ…
Large deviations in the presence of cooperativity and slow dynamics
Stephen Whitelam
We study simple models of intermittency, involving switching between two states, within the dynamical large-deviation formalism. Singularities appear in the formalism when switchin…
