Variational Autoencoders for Generative Modelling of Water Cherenkov Detectors
Matter-antimatter asymmetry is one of the major unsolved problems in physics that can be probed through precision measurements of charge-parity symmetry violation at current and next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments. In this work, we demonstrate the capability of variational autoencoders and normalizing flows to approximate the generative distribution of simulated data for water Cherenkov detectors commonly used in these experiments. We study the performance of these methods and their applicability for semi-supervised learning and synthetic data generation.

Using conditional variational autoencoders to generate images from atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
High-energy particles hitting the upper atmosphere of the Earth produce extensive air showers that can be detected from the ground level using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The images recorded by Cherenkov te…
Variational Autoencoders Without the Variation
Variational autoencdoers (VAE) are a popular approach to generative modelling. However, exploiting the capabilities of VAEs in practice can be difficult. Recent work on regularised and entropic autoencoders have begun to…
Image GenerationTackling the muon identification in water Cherenkov detectors problem for the future Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory by means of Machine Learning
This paper presents several approaches to deal with the problem of identifying muons in a water Cherenkov detector with a reduced water volume and 4 PMTs. Different perspectives of information representation are used and…
Diffusion Priors In Variational Autoencoders
Among likelihood-based approaches for deep generative modelling, variational autoencoders (VAEs) offer scalable amortized posterior inference and fast sampling. However, VAEs are also more and more outperformed by compet…
DenoisingModelling urban networks using Variational Autoencoders
A long-standing question for urban and regional planners pertains to the ability to describe urban patterns quantitatively. Cities' transport infrastructure, particularly street networks, provides an invaluable source of…
