• Abstract: Many current approaches to machine learning in particle physics use generic architectures that require large numbers of parameters and disregard underlying physics principles, limiting their applicability as scientific modeling tools. In this work, we present a machine learning architecture that uses a set of inputs maximally reduced with respect to the full 6-dimensional Lorentz symmetry, and is fully permutation-equivariant throughout. We study the application of this network architecture to the standard task of top quark tagging and show that the resulting network outperforms all existing competitors despite much lower model complexity. In addition, we present a Lorentz-covariant variant of the same network applied to a 4-momentum regression task.

  Lorentz Geometric Algebra Transformer (L-GATr) is a new multi-purpose architecture for high-energy physics. L-GATr is first demonstrated on regression and classification tasks from particle physics. We then construct the first Lorentz-equivariant generative model: a continuous normalizing flow based on an L-GATr network.

  A challenging problem in many modern machine learning tasks is to process weight-space features. Recent works have developed promising weight-space models that are equivariant to the permutation symmetries of simple feedforward networks. This work proposes an algorithm that automatically constructs permutation equivariant models for any weight space.

  PELICAN is a novel permutation equivariant and Lorentz invariant aggregator network. We present a study of the PELICAN algorithm architecture in the context of both tagging (classification) and reconstructing (regression) Lorentz-boosted top quarks. We extend the application of PELICAN to the tasks of identifying quark-initiated vs.gluon-initiated jets, and a multi-class identification across five separate target categories of jets.
