Description
Computing the Higgs boson production cross section to N$^3$LO precision is a highly challenging task which demands for automatization to a high degree. This talk will cover two $\tt \text{Mathematica}$ packages that were written in that context but can also be applied to other processes: $\tt \text{MT}$ and $\tt \text{TopoID}$. The package $\tt \text{MT}$ is capable of computing convolution integrals that enter the infrared counterterms to partonic cross sections. The package $\tt \text{TopoID}$ is capable to analyze a given process and generate computer algebra code to perform large parts of its calculation, namely the reduction of the amplitude to scalar master integrals.
