Dear editors of Physical Review Letters,
We are pleased to submit our manuscript, ‘Learning minimal representations of stochastic processes with variational autoencoders’, to be considered for publication as a research article in Physical Review Letters.

The recent advances in machine learning (ML) have been used to get insights from theoretical and experimental systems and help for scientific discovery across many fields (see Refs. [7,8,17-19] of our manuscript for recent examples published in the Physical Review family).
Besides, the study of stochastic processes has a wide range of applications,  from experimental biophysics to ecology, and economy.
Nonetheless, their intrinsic randomness makes them difficult to characterize and those ML techniques raise as a promising tool to find interpretable representations of stochastic processes. 
Our work introduces an unsupervised ML approach to determine the minimal set of parameters required to effectively describe the dynamics of a stochastic process.
Our method builds upon the interpretability power of an extended β-variational autoencoder architecture with an autoregressive decoder.

By means of simulated datasets corresponding to three paradigmatic diffusion models, we showcase its effectiveness in extracting the minimal relevant parameters that accurately describe these dynamics. Furthermore, the method enables the generation of new trajectories that faithfully replicate the expected stochastic behavior. 

We believe that our method will not only contribute to allow researchers to extract the minimal representation of trajectories and establish connections with existing knowledge, but also offer practical implications for model simplification and computational efficiency.
We believe that our paper is a valuable contribution to the field of Physics from an interdisciplinary perspective and hence will be of great interest to the readership of PRL.

We are grateful for your consideration of our work and we look forward to further communication.
Sincerely,
The authors.
