• Abstract: The KM3NeT Collaboration is installing the ARCA and ORCA neutrino detectors at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The focus of ARCA is neutrino astronomy, while ORCA is optimised for neutrino oscillation studies. Both detectors are already operational in their intermediate states and collect valuable data, including the measurements of the muons produced by cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. This work explores the potential of machine learning models for the reconstruction of muon bundles, which are multi-muon events. For this, data collected with intermediate detector configurations of ARCA and ORCA was used in addition to simulated data from the envisaged final configurations of those detectors. Prediction of the total number of muons in a bundle as well as their total energy and even the energy of the primary cosmic ray is presented.

We test the new software on archival data from the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), which has a collecting area and background level of the same order of magnitude to those of HERMES Pathfinder.

  Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are an essential source of space radiation, which are hazards for humans in space, spacecraft, and technology in general. We propose a deep learning method to predict if an active region (AR) would produce an SEP event given that (i) the AR will produce an M- or X-class flare and a coronal mass ejection associated with the flare, or (ii) the AR will produce an M- or X-class flare regardless of whether or not the flare is associated with a CME.

• Latent Space Exploration Using Generative Kernel PCA [14.236193187116049]
  Kernel PCA is a powerful feature extractor which recently has seen a reformulation in the context of Restricted Kernel Machines (RKMs) RKMs allow for a representation of kernel PCA in terms of hidden and visible units similar to Restricted Boltzmann Machines. This connection has led to insights on how to use kernel PCA in a generative procedure, called generative kernel PCA. New points can be generated by gradually moving in the latent space, which allows for an interpretation of the components.

  In this paper, we explore the possibility of achieving a more accurate depth estimation by fusing monocular images and Radar points using a deep neural network. We find that the noise existing in Radar measurements is one of the main key reasons that prevents one from applying the existing fusion methods. The experiments are conducted on the nuScenes dataset, which is one of the first datasets which features Camera, Radar, and LiDAR recordings in diverse scenes and weather conditions.
