Advanced Artificial Intelligence for precision High Energy Physics
17-28 July 2023. Como, Italy
The Summer School on Advanced Artificial Intelligence for precision High Energy Physics will take place from July 17th to July 28th, 2023, hosted by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies (Como, Italy) and co-organized by Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), Nikhef and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics, Edinburgh University (UK).
Artificial intelligence techniques are becoming increasingly important in high energy physics (HEP), with a range of applications that goes from analytic computations to modeling and optimization. Many of these applications tackle cutting-edge problems in machine learning (ML), and in fact address issues, such as the need to accurate uncertainty estimations, that are often disregarded in the most common ML applications.
The goal of this school is to provide hands-on training on cutting-edge machine learning methods in HEP by combining extensive advanced courses taught with extended tutorial sessions.
The topics and lectures of the courses are:
1) Tilman Plehn (Heidelberg University): Machine learning techniques
2) Jennifer Smillie (Edinburgh University): Quantum Chromodynamics
3) Artur Garcia (Barcelona Supercomputing Center): Quantum Machine Learning
4) Maurizio Pierini (CERN): Bayesian methods and data analysis
The school tutorials will exploit as a playing ground the NNPDF open-source code, which, originally aimed at the determination of parton distribution, makes use of a variety of current ML, statistical and analysis tools and techniques of wide applicability to general problems in HEP and beyond.
