Trees versus Neural Networks for enhancing tau lepton real-time selection in proton-proton collisions
This paper introduces supervised learning techniques for real-time selection (triggering) of hadronically decaying tau leptons in proton-proton colliders. By implementing classic machine learning decision trees and advanced deep learning models, such as Multi-Layer Perceptron or residual neural networks, visible improvements in performance compared to standard threshold tau triggers are observed. We show how such an implementation may lower selection energy thresholds, thus contributing to increasing the sensitivity of searches for new phenomena in proton-proton collisions classified by low-energy tau leptons. Moreover, we analyze when it is better to use neural networks versus decision trees for tau triggers with conclusions relevant to other problems in physics.

Exploring the flavor structure of quarks and leptons with reinforcement learning
We propose a method to explore the flavor structure of quarks and leptons with reinforcement learning. As a concrete model, we utilize a basic value-based algorithm for models with $U(1)$ flavor symmetry. By training neu…

We propose a method to explore the flavor structure of leptons using diffusion models, which are known as one of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI). We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model wi…

I present Lepton (Letter Prediction), a fine-tuned BERT classifier that predicts whether a title in a Classical Chinese wenji table of contents is a personal letter or a closely confusable preface (particularly the farew…
Extracting more from boosted decision trees: A high energy physics case study
Particle identification is one of the core tasks in the data analysis pipeline at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Statistically, this entails the identification of rare signal events buried in immense backgrounds that m…
