In CLEAN (Cryogenic Low Energy Astrophysics with Noble gases), a proposed neutrino and dark matter detector, background discrimination is possible if one can determine the location of an ionizing radiation event with high accuracy. We…

The assessment of process mining techniques using real-life data is often compromised by the lack of ground truth knowledge, the presence of non-essential outliers in system behavior and recording errors in event logs. Using synthetically…

Contrastive learning (CL) reduces annotation cost via auto-derived supervisory signals. Since large-scale in-house CL datasets are infeasible, reliance on third-party or internet data is common. Recent studies show CL models are vulnerable…
