abstract   bibtex   
Improving the quality of molecular dynamics simulations requires optimization, and the choice of objectives heavily impacts parameter search. Current work with reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) uses simple atomic bond counts as optimization targets, but these metrics have weaknesses. Here we propose non-local spatial-temporal approaches for describing simulation states and for characterizing simulation quality as compared to the ground truth. Non-local metrics look beyond individual atoms and consider molecular structure when describing a simulation state. Spatial-temporal metrics measure how the simulation state evolves over time instead of focusing solely on the current timestep. Using these new metrics in optimization may enable generation of higher quality simulations.
