Defect transport is a key process in materials science and catalysis, but as migration mechanisms are often too complex to enumerate a priori, calculation of transport tensors typically have no measure of convergence and require significant end user intervention. These two bottlenecks prevent high-throughput implementations essential to propagate model-form uncertainty from interatomic interactions to predictive simulations. In order to address these issues, we extend a massively parallel accelerated sampling scheme, autonomously controlled by Bayesian estimators of statewise sampling completeness, to build atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo models on a state space irreducible under exchange and space group symmetries. Focusing on isolated defects, we derive analytic expressions for defect transport tensors and provide a convergence metric by calculating the Kullback-Leiber divergence across the ensemble of diffusion processes consistent with the sampling uncertainty. The autonomy and efficacy of the method is demonstrated on surface trimers in tungsten and hexa-interstitials in magnesium oxide, both of which exhibit complex, correlated migration mechanisms.
