arXiv:2606.04100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable efficient and accurate atomistic simulations but depend critically on the quality and diversity of the training data. We introduce Stein kernelized molecular dynamics (SKMD), an enhanced sampling method that uses interacting particle dynamics to acquire informative training configurations for the active learning and fine-tuning of MLIPs. SKMD corresponds to a stochastic variant of Stein variational gradient descent that is adapted for molecular dynamics by incorporating asynchronous particle
