Abstract

We present a unified framework for the data-driven construction of stochastic reduced models with state-dependent memory for high-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. The method addresses two key challenges: (\rmnum{1}) accurately modeling heterogeneous non-Markovian effects where the memory function depends on the coarse-grained (CG) variables beyond the standard homogeneous kernel, and (\rmnum{2}) efficiently exploring the phase space to sample both equilibrium and dynamical observables for reduced model construction. Specifically, we employ a consensus-based sampling method to establish a shared sampling strategy that enables simultaneous construction of the free energy function and collection of conditional two-point correlation functions used to learn the state-dependent memory. The reduced dynamics is formulated as an extended Markovian system, where a set of auxiliary variables, interpreted as non-Markovian features, is jointly learned to systematically approximate the memory function using only two-point statistics. The constructed model yields a generalized Langevin-type formulation with an invariant distribution consistent with the full dynamics. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on a two-dimensional CG model of an alanine dipeptide molecule. Numerical results on the transition dynamics between metastable states show that accurately capturing state-dependent memory is essential for predicting non-equilibrium kinetic properties, whereas the standard generalized Langevin model with a homogeneous kernel exhibits significant discrepancies.
