Safety of Quark/Gluon Jet Classification

Alexis Romero, Daniel Whiteson, Michael Fenton +2

The classification of jets as quark- versus gluon-initiated is an important yet challenging task in the analysis of data from high-energy particle collisions and in the search for…

How to GAN Higher Jet Resolution

Pierre Baldi, Lukas Blecher, Anja Butter +6

QCD-jets at the LHC are described by simple physics principles. We show how super-resolution generative networks can learn the underlying structures and use them to improve the res…

Learning to Identify Electrons

Julian Collado, Jessica N. Howard, Taylor Faucett +3

We investigate whether state-of-the-art classification features commonly used to distinguish electrons from jet backgrounds in collider experiments are overlooking valuable informa…

Keep on Swimming: Real Attackers Only Need Partial Knowledge of a Multi-Model System

Julian Collado, Kevin Stangl

Recent approaches in machine learning often solve a task using a composition of multiple models or agentic architectures. When targeting a composed system with adversarial attacks,…

SARM: Sparse Autoregressive Model for Scalable Generation of Sparse Images in Particle Physics

Yadong Lu, Julian Collado, Daniel Whiteson +1

Generation of simulated data is essential for data analysis in particle physics, but current Monte Carlo methods are very computationally expensive. Deep-learning-based generative…
