The HEP Software Foundation

The HEP Software Foundation facilitates copperation and common efforts in High Energy Physics software and computing internationally. 
There are several focus activity areas: Data analysis, detector simulation, physics generators, PyHEP, Julia in HEP, reconstruction and software triggers, software developer tools and packaging, and training.
The HSF hosts workshops, provides strategic input and generally raises awareness on the importance of HEP software.

HSF Seminars

HSF Seminars were kick started in October 2024, and are nominally hosted on the last Wednesday of each month. Presentations are recorded (given consent) and put on YouTube.

IML - Inter-Experimental LHC Machine Learning Working Group

IML organizes monthly meetings on a variety of subjects. These meetings are often topic-oriented (focusing on a certain ML technique) and may include external experts. Each spring IML organizes an annual workshop typically comprised of roughly 300 participants, which includes invited data scientist’s talks, submitted talks, and tutorials. 

IML also serves as entry point to find LHC specific machine learning resources, such as software solutions for machine learning starting from the common ROOT file format. We build a forum for community driven summaries of software solutions, announce LHC tailored trainings/school, and list relevant papers and people involved. We can help finding temporary hardware resources (GPUs) for tests. We are currently building up a database with benchmarks datasets and challenges in order to better enable testing new methods in our domain against previous ones.
