Stochastic actions for diffusive dynamics: reweighting, sampling, and minimization.
In numerical studies of diffusive dynamics, two different action functionals are often used to specify the probability distribution of trajectories, one of which requires the evaluation of the second derivative of the potential in addition to the force. Here it is argued that both actions are equivalent prescriptions for the purposes of reweighting and sampling trajectories, whereas the most pr...
متن کاملStochastic Regret Minimization via Thompson Sampling
The Thompson Sampling (TS) policy is a widely implemented algorithm for the stochastic multiarmed bandit (MAB) problem. Given a prior distribution over possible parameter settings of the underlying reward distributions of the arms, at each time instant, the policy plays an arm with probability equal to the probability that this arm has largest mean reward conditioned on the current posterior di...
متن کاملStochastic Optimization with Importance Sampling for Regularized Loss Minimization
Uniform sampling of training data has been commonly used in traditional stochastic optimization algorithms such as Proximal Stochastic Mirror Descent (prox-SMD) and Proximal Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent (prox-SDCA). Although uniform sampling can guarantee that the sampled stochastic quantity is an unbiased estimate of the corresponding true quantity, the resulting estimator may have a rath...
متن کاملSampling diffusive transition paths.
The authors address the problem of sampling double-ended diffusive paths. The ensemble of paths is expressed using a symmetric version of the Onsager-Machlup formula, which only requires evaluation of the force field and which, upon direct time discretization, gives rise to a symmetric integrator that is accurate to second order. Efficiently sampling this ensemble requires avoiding the well-kno...
متن کاملEquilibrium sampling by reweighting nonequilibrium simulation trajectories.
Based on equilibrium molecular simulations, it is usually difficult to efficiently visit the whole conformational space of complex systems, which are separated into some metastable regions by high free energy barriers. Nonequilibrium simulations could enhance transitions among these metastable regions and then be applied to sample equilibrium distributions in complex systems, since the associat...
