Description
Many physics analyses at the LHC rely on algorithms to remove detector effect, commonly known as unfolding. Whereas classical methods only work with binned, one-dimensional data, Machine Learning promises to overcome both problems. Using a generative unfolding pipeline, we show how it can be build into an existing LHC analysis, designed to measure the top mass. We discuss the model-dependence of our algorithm, i.e. the bias of our measurement towards the top mass used in simulation and propose a method to reliably achieve unbiased results.
