• Abstract: The current KM3NeT/ORCA neutrino telescope, still under construction, has not yet reached its full potential in neutrino reconstruction capability. When training any deep learning model, no explicit information about the physics or the detector is provided, thus they remain unknown to the model. This study leverages the strengths of transformers by incorporating attention masks inspired by the physics and detector design, making the model understand both the telescope design and the neutrino physics measured on it. The study also shows the efficacy of transformers on retaining valuable information between detectors when doing fine-tuning from one configurations to another.

We find that while removing binding site information impairs accuracy as expected, modified models are able to predict relaxed energies with remarkably decent MAE.

  In this paper, we propose a novel physics guided and injected neural network for SAR image classification. The proposed framework comprises three parts: (1) generating physics guided signals using existing explainable models, (2) learning physics-aware features with physics guided network, and (3) injecting the physics-aware features adaptively to the conventional classification deep learning model for prediction. The experimental results show that our proposed method substantially improve the classification performance compared with the counterpart data-driven CNN.
