Description

Deep-learning methods have given us new tools for finding outliers in datasets, and opens up new opportunities for new-physics search strategies based on these anomaly-detection tools. In this talk I will discuss Normalised AutoEncoders, and how self-supervised learning can be used to find effective sets of observables for the analyses.
