Apprentice is a tool developed for event generator tuning. It contains a range of conceptual improvements and extensions over the tuning tool Professor. Its core functionality remains the construction of a multivariate analytic surrogate model to computationally expensive Monte-Carlo event generator predictions. The surrogate model is used for numerical optimization in chi-square minimization and likelihood evaluation. Apprentice also introduces algorithms to automate the selection of observable weights to minimize the effect of mis-modeling in the event generators. We illustrate our improvements for the task of MC-generator tuning and limit setting.

An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals
Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

Bayesian Optimization of Pythia8 Tunes
Bayesian optimization, implemented two ways, finds a six-parameter Pythia8 tune with a lower objective value against ALEPH LEPI data than the Monash default, though the gain is measured on the same data used for fitting.

The PYTHIA Facility
PYTHIA is presented as a 'big science facility' in software form: since 2018 its manuals drew ~9,600 citing works and ~47,000 unique authors across LHC, heavy-ion, flavor, astroparticle, and ML-for-physics communities.
