Flow matching for reaction coordinates (FMRC) is a new deep learning algorithm for identifying optimal reaction coordinates (RC) in biomolecular reversible dynamics.
FMRC utilizes lumpability and decomposability principles reformulated into a conditional probability framework for efficient data-driven optimization.
While not explicitly learning the transfer operator or its eigenfunctions, FMRC encodes the dynamics of leading eigenfunctions into a low-dimensional RC space.
FMRC outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms in constructing Markov state models (MSM) in biomolecular systems and demonstrates potential applications in enhanced sampling and MSM construction.
