Neural Embedding: Learning the Embedding of the Manifold of Physics Data

no code implementations10 Aug 2022 Sang Eon Park, Philip Harris, Bryan Ostdiek

In this paper, we present a method of embedding physics data manifolds with metric structure into lower dimensional spaces with simpler metrics, such as Euclidean and Hyperbolic spaces.

Challenges for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Particle Physics

no code implementations13 Oct 2021 Katherine Fraser, Samuel Homiller, Rashmish K. Mishra, Bryan Ostdiek, Matthew D. Schwartz

We then show that optimal transport distances to representative events in the background dataset can be used directly for anomaly detection, with performance comparable to the autoencoders.

Extracting the Subhalo Mass Function from Strong Lens Images with Image Segmentation

no code implementations14 Sep 2020 Bryan Ostdiek, Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

Over a wide range of the apparent source magnitude, the false-positive rate is around three false subhalos per 100 images, coming mostly from the lightest detectable subhalo for that signal-to-noise ratio.

Image segmentation for analyzing galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems

no code implementations14 Sep 2020 Bryan Ostdiek, Ana Diaz Rivero, Cora Dvorkin

The goal of this paper is to develop a machine learning model to analyze the main gravitational lens and detect dark substructure (subhalos) within simulated images of strongly lensed galaxies.

Mass Agnostic Jet Taggers

1 code implementation23 Aug 2019 Layne Bradshaw, Rashmish K. Mishra, Andrea Mitridate, Bryan Ostdiek

Searching for new physics in large data sets needs a balance between two competing effects---signal identification vs background distortion.

Cataloging Accreted Stars within Gaia DR2 using Deep Learning

no code implementations15 Jul 2019 Bryan Ostdiek, Lina Necib, Timothy Cohen, Marat Freytsis, Mariangela Lisanti, Shea Garrison-Kimmel, Andrew Wetzel, Robyn E. Sanderson, Philip F. Hopkins

The goal of this study is to present the development of a machine learning based approach that utilizes phase space alone to separate the Gaia DR2 stars into two categories: those accreted onto the Milky Way from those that are in situ.

Dark Mesons at the LHC

1 code implementation26 Sep 2018 Graham D. Kribs, Adam Martin, Bryan Ostdiek, Tom Tong

In this paper we study dark meson production and decay at the LHC in theories that preserve a global SU(2) dark flavor symmetry.

What is the Machine Learning?

no code implementations28 Sep 2017 Spencer Chang, Timothy Cohen, Bryan Ostdiek

Applications of machine learning tools to problems of physical interest are often criticized for producing sensitivity at the expense of transparency.

(Machine) Learning to Do More with Less

1 code implementation28 Jun 2017 Timothy Cohen, Marat Freytsis, Bryan Ostdiek

In this paper, we compare the standard "fully supervised" approach (that relies on knowledge of event-by-event truth-level labels) with a recent proposal that instead utilizes class ratios as the only discriminating information provided during training.
