End-To-End Latent Variational Diffusion Models for Inverse Problems in High Energy Physics

Alexander Shmakov, Kevin Greif, Michael Fenton +3

High-energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide valuable insights into open questions in particle physics. However, detector effects must be corrected before meas…

Towards Engineering Scaling Laws with Pretraining Data Composition

Jan-Lucas Uslu, Kevin Greif, Daniel Whiteson +1

Neural scaling laws describe how model performance improves as a power law in compute, model size, and dataset size. While well-established for large language models, these relatio…

Explicit or Implicit? Encoding Physics at the Precision Frontier

Victor Breso-Pla, Kevin Greif, Vinicius Mikuni +4

High-performance machine learning tools in particle physics rest on two complementary directions: encoding symmetries explicitly in the architecture, and implicitly learning the st…

Full Event Particle-Level Unfolding with Variable-Length Latent Variational Diffusion

Alexander Shmakov, Kevin Greif, Michael James Fenton +3

The measurements performed by particle physics experiments must account for the imperfect response of the detectors used to observe the interactions. One approach, unfolding, stati…

The Landscape of Unfolding with Machine Learning

Nathan Huetsch, Javier Mariño Villadamigo, Alexander Shmakov +9

Recent innovations from machine learning allow for data unfolding, without binning and including correlations across many dimensions. We describe a set of known, upgraded, and new…

Generative Unfolding of Jets and Their Substructure

Antoine Petitjean, Anja Butter, Kevin Greif +4

Unfolding, for example of distortions imparted by detectors, provides suitable and publishable representations of LHC data. Many methods for unbinned and high-dimensional unfolding…
