Protein folding and other molecular dynamics simulations are a crucial tool for understanding the biochemical underpinnings of life, but even with powerful computers researchers are unable to simulate the important state transitions at physiological temperatures. I will present some new work which uses local dimensionality reduction to learn approximate simulations which run hundreds of times faster than the originals, along with some web-based visualizations we're developing to explore the results.
