Enhanced Higgs to $τ^+τ^-$ Searches with Deep Learning

no code implementations13 Oct 2014 Pierre Baldi, Peter Sadowski, Daniel Whiteson

The Higgs boson is thought to provide the interaction that imparts mass to the fundamental fermions, but while measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are consistent with this hypothesis, current analysis techniques lack the statistical power to cross the traditional 5$\sigma$ significance barrier without more data.

Searching for Exotic Particles in High-Energy Physics with Deep Learning

2 code implementations19 Feb 2014 Pierre Baldi, Peter Sadowski, Daniel Whiteson

Standard approaches have relied on `shallow' machine learning models that have a limited capacity to learn complex non-linear functions of the inputs, and rely on a pain-staking search through manually constructed non-linear features.
