Description
Machine learning in high energy physics relies heavily on simulation for fully supervised training. This often results in sub-optimal classification when ultimately applied to (unlabeled) data. In addition to describing a new method for weak supervision (learning directly from data) called Classification Without Labels (CWoLa), we show for the first time how to apply these techniques to high-dimensional data, where significant architectural changes are required. This is critically important for learning from and about the full radiation pattern inside jets.
