Abstract Machine learned force fields typically require manual construction of training sets consisting thousands first principles calculations, which can result in low efficiency and unpredictable errors when applied to structures not represented the set model. This severely limits practical application these models systems with dynamics governed by important rare events, such as chemical reactions diffusion. We present an adaptive Bayesian inference method for automating interpretable,...
