Description

We study the use of interaction networks to perform tasks related to jet reconstruction. In particular, we consider jet tagging for generic boosted-jet topologies, tagging of large-momentum H$\to$bb decays, and anomalous-jet detection. The achieved performance is compared to state-of-the-art deep learning approaches, based on Convolutional or Recurrent architectures. Unlike these approaches, Interaction Networks allow to reach state-of-the art performance without making assumptions on the underlying data (e.g., detector geometry or resolution, particle ordering criterion, etc.). Given their flexibility, Interaction Networks provide an interesting possibility for deployment-friendly deep learning algorithms for the LHC experiments.
