    In this study, we demonstrate the potential of sparse point-voxel convolutional neural networks (SPVCNN) for hadronic calorimetry tasks using HCAL and HGCAL datasets. By employing a modified object condensation loss, we train the network to group cell deposits into clusters while filtering out noise. We show that SPVCNN performs comparably to generic topological cluster-based methods in both...

We consider the application of high-level synthesis to machine learning applications, seeking to quantify the resource and performance costs of this technique within the widely used HLS4ML framework. By creating carefully optimized SystemVerilog versions of identical HLS4ML designs, we...

    We present a denoising autoencoder for extracting low-energy signals in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detectors. In particular, we are interested in neutrinos originating from core-collapse supernova events, and the detection of these neutrinos can help improve our knowledge of the physics of core-collapse supernova events [1]. Additionally, if we can detect them fast enough,...

    A graph neutral network (GNN) was constructed to identify charged lepton flavor violating decays of a tau particle into three muons in proton-proton collisions recorded with the CMS detector of the Large Hadron Collider. The muons from this decay are expected to have very low momentum, making them hard to detect in the high pileup environment expected at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). We...

    Recent studies on the ITk data showed that the Graph Neural Network (GNN) -based track finding can provide not only satisfied track efficiency but also reasonable track resolutions. However, the GNN-based track finding is computationally slow in CPUs, demanding the usage of coprocessors like GPUs to speed up the inference time. The large graph size, normally 300k nodes and 1M edges,...

    Matched-filtering detection techniques for gravitational-wave (GW) signals in ground-based interferometers rely on having well-modeled templates of the GW emission.
    However, interesting science cases aside from compact mergers do not yet have accurate enough modeling to make matched filtering possible, including core-collapse supernovae and other stochastic sources. Therefore the development...

    In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, protons collide more than a million times per second. Pileup, which are interactions in the same or nearby proton bunch crossings in the accelerator, can be thought of as noise which affects many reconstructed physics variables such as the Jet Mass, Jet PT, and missing transverse momentum. This noise also results in worse resolution and as a...

    At the LHC proton bunches are collided at a rate of 40MHz. The Compact Muon Superconducting Solenoid (CMS) detector’s Level-1 (L1) trigger system is responsible for reducing this data rate to about 100kHz so that approximately 1% of these events can be saved for offline physics analyses. The task is to develop algorithms to determine what data to keep and what to discard. Traditionally,...
