GAML 1.2

Genetic Algorithm Machine Learning

Genetic Algorithm Machine Learning (GAML)

Genetic Algorithm Machine Learning (GAML) software package for automated force field parameterization.

Xiang Zhong and Orlando Acevedo*, University of Miami

This machine learning based software package automates the creation of force field (FF) parameters for molecular dynamics (MD) or Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In the current build, atomic charge development is emphasized for solvent simulations using a genetic algorithm crossover/average/mutation method. GAML outputs GROMACS formatted files in the OPLS-AA formalism for use in MD simulations. The FF parameters are validated by default against user-supplied free energies of hydration (ΔGhyd), liquid densities, and heats of vaporization (ΔHvap). However, additional condensed phased physical properties are available (or under development) for training that include: heat capacity, viscosity, self-diffusivity, dipoles, surface tension, and solubility.

Notes

A test for a 1-butylpyridinium-based ionic liquid can be found under the sample/ directory.

The OPLS-AA parameters for 86 conventional solvents optimized by GAML can be found under the Solvents/ directory. Files formatted for GROMACS.

Some features worth mentioning:

• Customized selection range for Coulombic interactions with PBC removal
• Two offsets as well as chemical equivalence considerations for random charge generation
• The crossover/average/mutation method
