The great success of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) is based on their ability to learn and extract descriptive features directly from training data and to build a hierarchical, abstract representation of the input that takes multiple length scales into account.
Such multiscale representations can also be found in soft matter systems where many physical phenomena and properties are governed by a large range of different length- and timescales.
In this work, we explore links between multiscale representations of DNNs and multiscale simulations of soft matter systems. The main focus is to investigate if DNNs can be used to link distribution functions generated at different resolutions. We have applied DNNs to the backmapping of coarse-grained molecular configurations to higher-resolution representations. This requires to reproduce the fine-grained statistics that match the coarse-grained representation.
Our model relies on 3D convolutional neural networks that are trained to generate molecular equilibrium structures. The training of the model is based on the generative adversarial approach and results are discussed for a system of octane molecules.
