Fair Universe Higgs Uncertainty Challenge

arXiv:2509.22247

Abstract

This competition in high-energy physics (HEP) and machine learning was the first to strongly emphasise uncertainties in cross-section measurement. Participants were tasked with developing advanced analysis techniques capable of dealing with uncertainties in the input training data and providing credible confidence intervals. The accuracy of these intervals was evaluated using pseudo-experiments to assess correct coverage. The dataset is now published in Zenodo, and the winning submissions are fully documented.
