Unsupervised learning of progress coordinates during weighted ensemble simulations: Application to millisecond protein folding - Improve rare events in protein folding (e.g., state transitions) through weighted ensemble simulation and an unsupervised deep learning model. - Use a convolutional VAE to compress contact maps into latent space, and applies a Local Outlier Factor to identify outlier conformations, which are then replicated in the simulation. - Training the CVAE on-the-fly works better than using a pretrained model.
