One of the important aspects of searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) involves the identification and reconstruction of single particles, jets and event topologies of interest in collision events. The End-to-End Deep Learning (E2E) project in the CMS experiment focuses on the development of these reconstruction and identification tasks with innovative deep learning approaches.
The data involved in these tasks are often sparse low-level detector information, which is computationally expensive to store and process. Recent works have shown masked auto-encoders to be a viable alternative to generic autoencoder-based architecture for data compression and downstream transfer learning-based tasks. The aim of this project will be to develop state-of-the-art Vision-Tranformer-based hybrid masked autoencoders to achieve competitive reconstruction and transfer learning scores when compared to pre-existing methods.
Total project length: 175/350 hours.
Advanced
