Description

Direct simulation of multi-parton QCD processes at full-color accuracy is computationally expensive, making it often impractical for large-scale LHC studies. A two-step approach has recently been proposed to address this: events are first generated using a fast leading-color approximation and reweighted to full-color accuracy. We build upon this strategy by introducing a machine-learning algorithm that learns the reweighting function directly. This enables us to retain the fast generation of approximate events while accelerating the costly reweighting step.
