Anomaly Awareness
Charanjit K. Khosa, Verónica Sanz · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2020
We present a new Machine Learning algorithm called Anomaly Awareness. By making our algorithm aware of the presence of a range of different anomalies, we improve its capability to detect anomalous events, even those it had not been exposed to. As an example of use, we apply this method to searches for new phenomena in the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we analyze events with boosted jets where new physics could be hiding.
