IAFormer uses boost-invariant pairwise quantities and differential attention to create a sparse Transformer that achieves state-of-the-art classification on top-quark and quark-gluon jet datasets while using over an order of magnitude fewer parameters than prior Particle Transformer models.

abstract
We introduce a new and highly efficient tagger for hadronically decaying top quarks, based on a deep neural network working with Lorentz vectors and the Minkowski metric. With its novel machine learning setup and architecture it allows us to identify boosted top quarks not only from calorimeter towers, but also including tracking information. We show how the performance of our tagger compares with QCD-inspired and image-recognition approaches and find that it significantly increases the performance for strongly boosted top quarks.
