An event reweighting technique incorporated in multivariate training algorithms has been developed and tested with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Boosted Decision Trees (BDT). The performance of the ANNs and BDTs resulting from this event reweighting training is compared to the performance from conventional equal event weighting training. The comparison is performed in the context of physics analysis in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will explore the fundamental nature of matter and the basic forces that shape our universe. We demonstrate that the event reweighting technique provides an unbiased method of multivariate training for event pattern recognition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
