machine learning for Particle Physics

This project proposes to use modern Machine Learning (ML), particularly Deep Learning (DL), as a breakthrough solution to address the scientific, technological, and financial challenges that High Energy Physics (HEP) will face in the decade ahead. The quest for new physics is increasing the complexity of the experiments and, consequently, the human and financial costs to operate these detectors, with experiments facing at best flat budgets. ML offers a way out of this impasse. With the development of DL, ML has successfully addressed tasks such as image recognition and text understanding, which eventually opened the way to automatizing complex tasks. These progresses have the potential to…
