Talk Overcoming challenges I: Publishing and using statistical models

Speaker

Benjamin Nachman (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

Description

Machine learning tools have enabled a new type of differential cross section measurements that are unbinned and high-dimensional (see e.g. 2109.13243). This talk will discuss the challenges and prospects of (re)using such measurements with respect to new physics.
