contents Milestoning is an accurate and efficient method for rare event kinetics calculations by constructing a continuous-time kinetic network connecting the reactant and product states. However, even with adequate sampling, its accuracy can also be limited by the force fields, which makes it challenging to achieve quantitative agreement with experimental data. To address this issue, we present a refinement approach by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence rate between two Milestoning networks while incorporating experimental thermodynamic (equilibrium constants) and kinetic (rate constants) data as constraints. This approach ensures that the refined kinetic network is minimally perturbed with respect to the original one, while simultaneously satisfying the experimental constraints. The refinement approach is demonstrated using the binding and unbinding dynamics of a series of six small molecule ligands for the model host system, $β$-cyclodextrin.
