The flowchart of solvation free energy calculation with ML-based QM/MM MD simulations. The initialization stage contains SQM/MM MD simulation, construction of initial database, and establishment of initial QM/MM ML models. The update stage contains direct QM/MM MD simulations combined with the ML predictions, determination of new configurations encountered during MD, and reconstruction of ML models. The finalization stage contains MD simulation with the final QM/MM ML model and the solvation free energy calculation.
