VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Patrick Komiske (MIT)
December 18, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Speaker: Patrick Komiske (MIT)
Title: Optimizing Particle Physics With Machine Learning
Abstract:
Exciting new advances in particle physics, particularly in the area of jet physics at colliders such as the LHC, are being driven by machine learning (ML) methods. For example, in just a few short years, the state of the art for important tasks such as jet classification has progressed from cutting on single observables to hyper-variate classifiers that can be trained directly on data. In this talk, I will discuss these and other developments that demonstrate broad synergy between ML and particle physics, including training and calibrating jet classifiers directly on data, visualizing and quantifying jets from the CMS Open Data with a recently proposed metric between collider events, and simultaneously unfolding multiple observables with the OmniFold method.
