Description

One of the main limitations in particle physics analyses in which the signal selection is based on machine learning is the understanding of the implications of systematic uncertainties. The usual approach consisting in the training with samples ignoring systematic effects and estimating their contribution to the magnitudes measured on modified test samples. We propose here an alternative method based on data augmentation to incorporate the systematics at the training time, which provides both an improvement in the performance and a reduction in the biases.
