SUMMARY:Weak Supervision for the Strong Force\, Physics ∩ ML Seminar
 \, Jesse Thaler\, MIT/IAIFI
DESCRIPTION:The strong nuclear force is governed by the interactions o
 f quarks and gluons. Because of confinement\, though\, quarks and gluo
 ns can never been seen in isolation\, so “quark” and “gluon” l
 abels are fundamentally ambiguous. In this talk\, I show how to levera
 ge weak supervision to disentangle quarks and gluons without labeled t
 raining data. This technique is then applied to public data from the L
 arge Hadron Collider. This analysis incorporates a wide range of machi
 ne learning tools — including topic modeling\, permutation-invariant
  networks\, simulation-based inference\, and optimal transport — tog
 ether with key insights from quantum field theory.
