ABSTRACT:
This talk will briefly define and motivate anomaly detection at the Large Hadron Collider and will then give an overview of various method classifications based on the underlying physics goals and assumptions (and how these translate to statistical concepts). No one method will be able to cover all possibilities and it is essential to have a spectrum of techniques to achieve broad...

ABSTRACT:
Strategies to detect data departures from a given reference model, with no prior bias on the nature of the new physical model responsible for the discrepancy might play a vital role in experimental programs where, like at the LHC, increasingly rich experimental data are accompanied by an increasingly blurred theoretical guidance in their interpretation. I will describe one such...
