• Abstract summary: generative machine learning models have shown promise for performing unbinned unfolding in a high number of dimensions. A novel modification to the variational latent diffusion model (VLD) approach to generative unfolding is presented. The performance of this method is evaluated in the context of semi-leptonic top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider.

• Abstract: The measurements performed by particle physics experiments must account for the imperfect response of the detectors used to observe the interactions. One approach, unfolding, statistically adjusts the experimental data for detector effects. Recently, generative machine learning models have shown promise for performing unbinned unfolding in a high number of dimensions. However, all current generative approaches are limited to unfolding a fixed set of observables, making them unable to perform full-event unfolding in the variable dimensional environment of collider data. A novel modification to the variational latent diffusion model (VLD) approach to generative unfolding is presented, which allows for unfolding of high- and variable-dimensional feature spaces. The performance of this method is evaluated in the context of semi-leptonic top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider.

  Inference methods are required to understand and predict the motion patterns from time discrete trajectory data provided by experiments. We propose a new method to approximate the likelihood for non-linear second order Langevin models. We thereby pave the way for the systematic, data-driven inference of dynamical models for actively driven entities.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
