Computing large deviation prefactors of stochastic dynamical systems based on machine learning

2023-06-20 · Yang Li, Shenglan Yuan, Linghongzhi Lu, Xianbin Liu

In this paper, we present large deviation theory that characterizes the exponential estimate for rare events of stochastic dynamical systems in the limit of weak noise. We aim to consider next-to-leading-order approximation for more accurate calculation of mean exit time via computing large deviation prefactors with the research efforts of machine learning. More specifically, we design a neural network framework to compute quasipotential, most probable paths and prefactors based on the orthogonal decomposition of vector field. We corroborate the higher effectiveness and accuracy of our algorithm with a practical example. Numerical experiments demonstrate its powerful function in exploring internal mechanism of rare events triggered by weak random fluctuations.

Evolutionary reinforcement learning of dynamical large deviations

2019-09-02 · 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 Carlo trajectory and receives a reward con…

Reservoir Computing with Error Correction: Long-term Behaviors of Stochastic Dynamical Systems

2023-05-01 · Cheng Fang, Yubin Lu, Ting Gao, Jinqiao Duan

The prediction of stochastic dynamical systems and the capture of dynamical behaviors are profound problems. In this article, we propose a data-driven framework combining Reservoir Computing and Normalizing Flow to study…

Annealed Entropic Allocation for Ranking and Selection

2026-06-09 · Xin Fei, Juergen Branke arxiv

We propose annealed entropic allocation, an adaptive sampling policy based on an annealed, weighted soft-min formulation of static budget allocation. We replace the maximin large-deviation rate objective with a weighted …

spectroxide: A code package for computing cosmic microwave background spectral distortions

2026-04-27 · Ethan Baker, Hongwan Liu, Siddharth Mishra-Sharma arxiv

We present spectroxide, a code package for computing cosmic microwave background spectral distortions in which all ${\sim}14{,}500$ lines of Rust code, Python interface, and ${\sim}400$ automated tests were written by an…

The global convergence time of stochastic gradient descent in non-convex landscapes: Sharp estimates via large deviations

2025-03-20 · Waïss Azizian, Franck Iutzeler, Jérôme Malick, Panayotis Mertikopoulos

In this paper, we examine the time it takes for stochastic gradient descent (SGD) to reach the global minimum of a general, non-convex loss function. We approach this question through the lens of randomly perturbed dynam…
