Description

The Energy Movers Distance was recently proposed as an advantageous metric to distinguish certain types of signals at the LHC. We explore generalizations of this distance to multiple families of signals and find similar performance anomaly detection through variational autoencoders. We investigate this connection by exploring the correlation of event distances with distances in the latent space of the autoencoder.
