Deep learning tools are being used extensively in high energy physics and are becoming central in the reconstruction of neutrino interactions in particle detectors. In this work, we report on the performance of a graph neural network in…
Many real-world systems are profitably described as complex networks that grow over time. Preferential attachment and node fitness are two simple growth mechanisms that not only explain certain structural properties commonly observed in…
We introduce a new network marker for climate network analysis. It is based upon an available special definition of local clustering coefficient for weighted correlation networks, which was previously introduced in the neuroscience context…
Recently, it has been shown theoretically that fluorescence microscopy using random illuminations (RIM) yields a doubled lateral resolution and an improved optical sectioning. Moreover, an algorithm called algoRIM, based on variance…
In order to handle large data sets omnipresent in modern science, efficient compression algorithms are necessary. Here, a Bayesian data compression (BDC) algorithm that adapts to the specific measurement situation is derived in the context…
Machine learning techniques not only offer efficient tools for modelling dynamical systems from data, but can also be employed as frontline investigative instruments for the underlying physics. Nontrivial information about the original…
Generation of simulated data is essential for data analysis in particle physics, but current Monte Carlo methods are very computationally expensive. Deep-learning-based generative models have successfully generated simulated data at lower…
The projected discovery and exclusion capabilities of particle physics and astrophysics/cosmology experiments are often quantified using the median expected $p$-value or its corresponding significance. We argue that this criterion leads to…
This paper examines several applications of principal component analysis (PCA) to physical systems. The first of these demonstrates that the principal components in a basis of appropriate system variables can be employed to identify…
Discovery of new natural laws has for a long time relied on the inspiration of some genius. Recently, however, machine learning technologies, which analyze big data without human prejudice and bias, are expected to find novel natural laws.…
Revealing the structural features of a complex system from the observed collective dynamics is a fundamental problem in network science. In order to compute the various topological descriptors commonly used to characterize the structure of…
Sequence-based modeling broadly refers to algorithms that act on data that is represented as an ordered set of input elements. In particular, Machine Learning algorithms with sequences as inputs have seen successfull applications to…
In High Energy Physics experiments Particle Flow (PFlow) algorithms are designed to provide an optimal reconstruction of the nature and kinematic properties of the particles produced within the detector acceptance during collisions. At the…
This article presents the motivation for developing a comprehensive modeling framework in which different models and parameter inputs can be compared and evaluated for a large range of jet-quenching observables measured in relativistic…
This is the write-up of a set of lectures given at the Asia Europe Pacific School of High Energy Physics in Quy Nhon, Vietnam in September 2018, to an audience of PhD students in all branches of particle physics They cover the different…
We develop a graph generative adversarial network to generate sparse data sets like those produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We demonstrate this approach by training on and generating sparse representations of MNIST…
In todays age of data, discovering relationships between different variables is an interesting and a challenging problem. This problem becomes even more critical with regards to complex dynamical systems like weather forecasting and…
Due to its rising importance in science and technology in recent years, particle tracking in videos presents itself as a tool for successfully acquiring new knowledge in the field of life sciences and physics. Accordingly, different…
We show that the mutual information between the representation of a learning machine and the hidden features that it extracts from data is bounded from below by the relevance, which is the entropy of the model's energy distribution. Models…
We propose lacunarity as a novel recurrence quantification measure and illustrate its efficacy to detect dynamical regime transitions which are exhibited by many complex real-world systems. We carry out a recurrence plot based analysis for…
