| 11:00 - 12:00 Experimental Journal Club Pileup Mitigation with Machine Learning (PUMML) School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.08600 Pileup involves the contamination of the energy distribution arising from the primary collision of interest (leading vertex) by radiation from soft collisions (pileup). We develop a new technique for removing this contamination using machine learning and con- volutional neural networks. The network takes as input the energy distribution of charged leading vertex particles, charged pileup particles, and all neutral particles and outputs the energy distribution of particles coming from leading vertex alone. The PUMML algorithm performs remarkably well at eliminating pileup distortion on a wide range o ... |
