<p>Research: jet tagging techniques (applying deep learning, ideas from AI safety).
With the help of latest architectures like transformer models, I am developing a new generation of algorithms which exploit low-level features in a unique way.
My particular interest is targeted at improving not only performance, but also at creating robust taggers that can withstand input distortions and which generalize
better to experimental data, being trained on (augmented) simulation only.
For Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider, CMS will use the first (adversarially) robust tagger in production, and I am looking forward to analyses profiting from this development.
Studies so far are summarized <a href="publications.html">here</a>. Further activities related to this topic, in an interdisciplinary way, are now coordinated on <a href="https://github.com/ErUM-AISafety" target="_blank">GitHub</a>.
The tools under investigation play a crucial role when studying the properties of the Higgs boson, for example when probing
the coupling to charm quarks. I set up a first implementation of the VHcc Zll channel in a pure python framework which can be
used for further studies and improvements, compared to the Run 2 version. Became the first one to study data/MC agreement during the ML development process, ergo the only one who performs the whole chain in one go as part of the dev cycle.
Certain investigations are unique to my thesis and can only be repeated if you use the full development framework that I introduced for this purpose, but are not part of typical commissioning workflows that don't include the machine learning aspects. On the other hand,
usually the software developers focus on the software and simulation performance only, while I also cared about how the algorithm works on detector data. I look forward to apply this paradigm in my new collaboration, such that no surprises await upon introducing a new generation of taggers.
I created a new adversarial technique that effectively solves the problems of its predecessor, and because the employed strategies are universally interesting, I engage in preparation of low-level quantities for machine learning purposes as found in Open Data.
</p>
<p>
Service work for CMS: extending a specialized data tier / framework to study jet tagging algorithms with additional
variables that are relevant for commissioning. Code reviews and contributions for commissioning, efficiently hunting 🐛 in the code.
Providing a new skim for monitoring purposes of b-tagging observables at HLT.
Implementation of adversarial training for next generation of flavour tagging algorithms (used starting from Run3).
Building a new software framework that allows training and evaluation in one go.<br>
BTV RECO contact, reviewing pull requests on GitHub, creating some myself to keep the b-tagging software up-to-date.
