Machine learning for the LHC physics program: a 2025-2026 stocktake

Jesse Thaler

The first sentence of this abstract--and the introduction to these proceedings--was authored by a human, but the bulk of this document was generated by an agentic AI system. In thi…

Simplex Demixing: Disentangling Multiple Light-Flavor Jets at Colliders

Gregorio de la Fuente, Jesse Thaler

Providing a practical and hadron-level definition of multiple jet flavors has been a long-standing challenge in collider physics. Previous work has introduced a data-driven, operat…

Reweighting Adversarial Networks for Unbinned Unfolding

Umar Sohail Qureshi, Krish Desai, Jesse Thaler +1

Differential cross sections are the currency of scientific exchange in particle and nuclear physics. Recently, machine learning methods have enabled unbinned and high-dimensional c…

Interpreting "Interpretability" and Explaining "Explainability" in Machine Learning in Physics

Rikab Gambhir, Luisa Lucie-Smith, Jesse Thaler

We review the concepts of interpretability and explainability as they apply to machine learning in physics. We define interpretability as concerning the structural transparency of…

Many Wrongs Make a Right: Leveraging Biased Simulations Towards Unbiased Parameter Inference

Ezequiel Alvarez, Sean Benevedes, Manuel Szewc +1

In particle physics, as in many areas of science, parameter inference relies on simulations to bridge the gap between theory and experiment. Recent developments in simulation-based…

Improving parton shower predictions via precision moments of energy flow polynomials

Benoît Assi, Kyle Lee, Jesse Thaler

We study conceptual and practical aspects of using maximum-entropy reweighting to upgrade parton-shower event samples with higher-accuracy theoretical constraints. Our approach pro…
