- Abstract: Auto-encoders (AEs) have the potential to be effective and generic tools for
new physics searches at colliders, requiring little to no model-dependent
assumptions. New hypothetical physics signals can be considered anomalies that
deviate from the well-known background processes generally expected to describe
the whole dataset. We present a search formulated as an anomaly detection (AD)
problem, using an AE to define a criterion to decide about the physics nature
of an event. In this work, we perform an AD search for manifestations of a dark
version of strong force using raw detector images, which are large and very
sparse, without leveraging any physics-based pre-processing or assumption on
the signals. We propose a dual-encoder design which can learn a compact latent
space through conditioning. In the context of multiple AD metrics, we present a
clear improvement over competitive baselines and prior approaches. It is the
first time that an AE is shown to exhibit excellent discrimination against
multiple dark shower models, illustrating the suitability of this method as a
performant, model-independent algorithm to deploy, e.g., in the trigger stage
of LHC experiments such as ATLAS and CMS.

In real-world control settings, the observation space is often unnecessarily high-dimensional and subject to time-correlated noise.
It is therefore desirable to learn an encoder to map the observation space to a simpler space of control-relevant variables.
We propose a new algorithm, ACDF, which combines multistep-inverse prediction with a latent forward model.

Video anomaly detection (VAD) with weak supervision has achieved remarkable performance in utilizing video-level labels to discriminate whether a video frame is normal or abnormal.
Recent studies attempt to tackle a more realistic setting, open-set VAD, which aims to detect unseen anomalies given seen anomalies and normal videos.
This paper takes a step further and explores open-vocabulary video anomaly detection (OVVAD), in which we aim to leverage pre-trained large models to detect and categorize seen and unseen anomalies.

We propose an efficient abnormal event detection model based on a lightweight masked auto-encoder (AE) applied at the video frame level.
We introduce an approach to weight tokens based on motion gradients, thus shifting the focus from the static background scene to the foreground objects.
We generate synthetic abnormal events to augment the training videos, and task the masked AE model to jointly reconstruct the original frames.
