• Abstract: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission measured light from stars in ~85% of the sky throughout its two-year primary mission, resulting in millions of TESS 30-minute cadence light curves to analyze in the search for transiting exoplanets. To search this vast dataset, we aim to provide an approach that is both computationally efficient, produces highly performant predictions, and minimizes the required human search effort. We present a convolutional neural network that we train to identify short period variables. To make a prediction for a given light curve, our network requires no prior target parameters identified using other methods. Our network performs inference on a TESS 30-minute cadence light curve in ~5ms on a single GPU, enabling large scale archival searches. We present a collection of 14156 short-period variables identified by our network. The majority of our identified variables fall into two prominent populations, one of short-period main sequence binaries and another of Delta Scuti stars. Our neural network model and related code is additionally provided as open-source code for public use and extension.

  This paper presents an end-to-end deep reinforcement learning solution for target search and coverage. We show that deep hierarchical feature learning works for RL and that by using farthest point sampling (FPS) we can reduce the amount of points. We also show that multi-head attention for point-clouds helps to learn the agent faster but converges to the same outcome.

  Mini-batch training of graph neural networks (GNNs) requires a lot of computation and data movement. We argue in favor of performing mini-batch training with neighborhood sampling in a distributed multi-GPU environment. We present a sequence of improvements to mitigate these bottlenecks, including a performance-engineered neighborhood sampler. We also conduct an empirical analysis that supports the use of sampling for inference, showing that test accuracies are not materially compromised.

  We study several simplified dark matter (DM) models and their signatures at the LHC using neural networks. We focus on the usual monojet plus missing transverse energy channel, but to train the algorithms we organize the data in 2D histograms instead of event-by-event arrays. This results in a large performance boost to distinguish between standard model (SM) only and SM plus new physics signals.
