• Abstract summary: ALICE provides PID information via several detectors for particles with momentum from about 100 MeV/c up to 20 GeV/c. A much better performance can be achieved with machine learning (ML) methods. We present the integration of the ML project with the ALICE analysis software, and we discuss domain adaptation.

• Abstract: The ALICE experiment at the LHC measures properties of the strongly interacting matter formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Such studies require accurate particle identification (PID). ALICE provides PID information via several detectors for particles with momentum from about 100 MeV/c up to 20 GeV/c. Traditionally, particles are selected with rectangular cuts. A much better performance can be achieved with machine learning (ML) methods. Our solution uses multiple neural networks (NN) serving as binary classifiers. Moreover, we extended our particle classifier with Feature Set Embedding and attention in order to train on data with incomplete samples. We also present the integration of the ML project with the ALICE analysis software, and we discuss domain adaptation, the ML technique needed to transfer the knowledge between simulated and real experimental data.

  Machine learning force fields (MLFF) have been proposed to accelerate molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Even for the most data-efficient MLFFs, reaching chemical accuracy can require hundreds of frames of force and energy labels. We propose a multi-stage computational framework -- ASTEROID, which lowers the data cost of MLFFs by leveraging a combination of cheap inaccurate data and expensive accurate data.
