35. Generative Networks for LHC events

Anja Butter

Higgs and colliders

LHC physics crucially relies on our ability to simulate events efficiently from first principles. Modern machine learning, specifically generative networks, will help us tackle simulation challenges for the coming LHC runs. Such networks can be employed within established simulation tools or as part of a new framework. Since neural networks can be inverted, they also open new avenues in LHC analyses.

Higgs and colliders

The HistFactory p.d.f. template [CERN-OPEN-2012-016] is per-se independent of its implementation in ROOT and it is useful to be able to run statistical analysis outside of the ROOT, RooFit, RooStats framework. pyhf is a pure-python implementation of that statistical model for multi-bin histogram-based analysis and its interval estimation is based on the...
