abstract

Novelty detection is the machine learning task to recognize data, which belong to an unknown pattern. Complementary to supervised learning, it allows to analyze data model-independently. We demonstrate the potential role of novelty detection in collider physics, using autoencoder-based deep neural network. Explicitly, we develop a set of density-based novelty evaluators, which are sensitive to the clustering of unknown-pattern testing data or new-physics signal events, for the design of detection algorithms. We also explore the influence of the known-pattern data fluctuations, arising from non-signal regions, on detection sensitivity. Strategies to address it are proposed. The algorithms are applied to detecting fermionic di-top partner and resonant di-top productions at LHC, and exotic Higgs decays of two specific modes at a $e^+e^-$ future collider. With parton-level analysis, we conclude that potentially the new-physics benchmarks can be recognized with high efficiency.

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Autoencoders with latent spaces shaped like S^2, S^2×S^2, or RP^2, matched to the phase-space topology of the background, reduce spurious reconstruction errors and give a small but consistent anomaly-detection gain ov...

  2. Systematically Constructing the Likelihood for Boosted $H\to gg$ Decays

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Working order-by-order in the strong coupling, the paper constructs the likelihood ratio for boosted H->gg jets versus QCD jets and validates a new color-flow observable, d2/z^2, that improves signal over background b...

  3. Exploring anomalous couplings in Higgs boson pair production through shape analysis

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Anomalous Higgs couplings change the shape of the di-Higgs mass distribution, and an unsupervised clustering algorithm captures those shape differences more finely than a hand-defined taxonomy.

  4. Exploring the Space of Jets with CMS Open Data

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors apply the energy mover's distance to 1.69 million jets from CMS open data and show that track-based jet studies, including visualizations and anomaly scoring, work on real collider data.
