Boltzmann Generators and Stochastic Normalizing Flows

In statistical physics, systems are modeled by a probability distribution, i.e. the Boltzmann distribution. Being able to draw samples from it is of utmost importance for many applications such as analyzing physical processes as well as drug discovery. Current state of the art sampling procedures such as molecular dynamics simulation and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods can only generate sequences of highly correlated samples, leaving large parts of the potential landscape unexplored. In this talk, we will present a paper introducing Boltzmann generators which is a method to approximate Boltzmann distributions with a normalizing flow in order to draw independent samples from it. Furthermore, we will discuss a follow up work about a novel flow based model, called Stochastic Normalizing Flows, which is supposedly, among other merits, even better suited to draw independent samples from Boltzmann distributions.
