Description

First I will review significant performance gains that were reached for ongoing experiments by applying deep learning techniques classification tasks in jet physics. I will also review how to extend such methods to for cases where we do not have unique labels, but where the labels in simulation themselves are already a production of a random process of simulation. Finally, if times allow I will present methods, that allow using real data and simulation in the training simultaneously to mitigate differences between them.
