Description

Navigating the demanding landscapes of real-time and offline data processing at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires the deployment of fast and robust machine learning (ML) models for advancements in Beyond Standard Model (SM) discovery. This presentation explores recent breakthroughs in this realm, focusing on the use of knowledge distillation to imbue efficient model architectures with essential inductive bias. Additionally, novel techniques in robust multi-background representation learning for detecting out-of-distribution BSM signatures will be discussed, emphasizing the potential of these approaches in propelling discoveries within the challenging LHC environment.
