Description

Informed by the many fields in which machine learning (ML) has made impacts, the coming years promise to see exciting improvements in the discovery and measurement power of LHC experiments. But stepping back from the many exploratory studies ongoing, there are already dozens of concrete and rigorous public LHC results leveraging advanced ML. This review will examine common themes of those results across simulation, offline reconstruction, BSM searches and precision analysis, and simulation-based inference. We thus find experiments converging towards similar techniques for some applications and diverging on others, with longstanding challenges in production-ready ML addressed even as others arise.
