Accurate and robust methods for direct background estimation in resonant anomaly detection
Ranit Das, Thorben Finke, Marie Hein +4
Resonant anomaly detection methods have great potential for enhancing the sensitivity of traditional bump hunt searches. A key component of these methods is a high quality backgrou…
Back To The Roots: Tree-Based Algorithms for Weakly Supervised Anomaly Detection
Thorben Finke, Marie Hein, Gregor Kasieczka +6
Weakly supervised methods have emerged as a powerful tool for model-agnostic anomaly detection at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While these methods have shown remarkable perform…
Learning the language of QCD jets with transformers
Thorben Finke, Michael Krämer, Alexander Mück +1
Transformers have become the primary architecture for natural language processing. In this study, we explore their use for auto-regressive density estimation in high-energy jet phy…
Boosting mono-jet searches with model-agnostic machine learning
Thorben Finke, Michael Krämer, Maximilian Lipp +1
We show how weakly supervised machine learning can improve the sensitivity of LHC mono-jet searches to new physics models with anomalous jet dynamics. The Classification Without La…
What's Anomalous in LHC Jets?
Thorsten Buss, Barry M. Dillon, Thorben Finke +5
Searches for anomalies are a significant motivation for the LHC and help define key analysis steps, including triggers. We discuss specific examples how LHC anomalies can be define…
Autoencoders for unsupervised anomaly detection in high energy physics
Thorben Finke, Michael Krämer, Alessandro Morandini +2
Autoencoders are widely used in machine learning applications, in particular for anomaly detection. Hence, they have been introduced in high energy physics as a promising tool for…
Casting a graph net to catch dark showers
Elias Bernreuther, Thorben Finke, Felix Kahlhoefer +2
Strongly interacting dark sectors predict novel LHC signatures such as semi-visible jets resulting from dark showers that contain both stable and unstable dark mesons. Distinguishi…
