Trajectory Ensembles and Machine Learning: From reinforcement learning for rare event sampling to training of neural network ensembles

This thesis builds on the existing body of work connecting the fields of statistical mechanics and machine learning. Many advances in machine learning have found their roots in statistical mechanics, e.g. simulated annealing for heuristic optimisation. Primarily, we aim to build bridges between traj...
