Machine learning plays a crucial role in enhancing and accelerating the search for new fundamental physics. We review the state of machine learning methods and applications for new physics searches in the context of terrestrial high energy physics experiments, including the Large Hadron Collider, rare event searches, and neutrino experiments. While machine learning has a long history in these fields, the deep learning revolution (early 2010s) has yielded a qualitative shift in terms of the scope and ambition of research. These modern machine learning developments are the focus of the present review.

Look everywhere effects in anomaly detection
Weakly supervised anomaly detectors that train and test on the same data produce badly miscalibrated p-values; independent test sets are calibrated but insensitive, while k-fold cross-validation is a workable middle ground.

A Step Toward Interpretability: Smearing the Likelihood
Smearing the likelihood over an energy metric reveals the physical scales used by a jet classifier, and the needed smearing radius follows a power-law scaling with dataset size.

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