Abstract
We introduce a machine-learning-based coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) model that faithfully retains the many-body nature of the inter-molecular dissipative interactions. Unlike common empirical CG models, the present model is constructed based on the Mori-Zwanzig formalism and naturally inherits the heterogeneous state-dependent memory term rather than matching the mean-field metrics such as the velocity auto-correlation function. Numerical results show that preserving the many-body nature of the memory term is crucial for predicting the collective transport and diffusion processes, where empirical forms generally show limitations.
