@FinitePhysicist The Standard Model is not possible with all the closing costs.

How do we know #quarks (found in protons & neutrons) really exist? Even their inventor first thought they didn't! We can't ever isolate a quark, or make quark beams. Still, there's an easy path, using 1 experiment, and math that any 12-year-old can do. https://t.co/jE9RXDpPxl

New paper!

“Learning to Identify Semi-Visible Jets”

Led by Taylor Faucett, with Shih-Chieh Hsu.

We wanted to understand what ML models are doing to distinguish jets with dark showers from QCD jets.

Ranit presenting the results of our joint project w/ David Shih today for the first time at #BOOST2022

Summary 🧵:
Machine learning is now widely used for jet physics, with the usual trend of more complexity (more parameters/graphs/transformers) yielding better performance

Attended a talk by @demishassabis from @DeepMind today where he discussed AI as a tool for scientific discovery (#AlphaFold etc.). After, posed two questions to him:

1) Humans are innately curious, creative, and explorative beings. If you give a baby a stack of blocks, they will

I don't tweet often, but this time it's for a good reason. I just found out that I have been awarded the @doecsgf to support my graduate studies!

I am so excited for this fellowship to boost my work on causal inference and machine learning.

@veritasium @Cosmic_Horizons @Lutron Removing the bulb from the circuit entirely gives the same answer, right? It might be illuminating (pun intended) to see it that way.

Pet peeve: Circular foods priced linearly in diameter rather than area.

[Kati Lassila-Perini @KatiLassila]

Proud of @CMSExperiment and @cernopendata for having lead the way and happy to see other experiments joining 🥰 Five releases of research-quality data from CMS since 2014 and more is coming ✨ Thanks @CERN !

[Ben Nachman @BPNachman]

Joining @LBNLphysics at @BerkeleyLab as a staff scientist next week! Will be starting a new #ML group and growing the #QuantumComputing group in our division that I helped start a couple of years ago. There are many opportunities to join! See https://t.co/Gx05sz9Rqg for details.

@CumrunV's new book is uniquely great! Ever since taking his freshman seminar, I often reflect back on the puzzles and their physics insights.

[Cumrun Vafa @CumrunV]

I’m excited to share my new book, Puzzles to Unravel the Universe, based on a freshman seminar I teach at Harvard. It includes over a hundred puzzles and discussion on how they relate to deep ideas in physics and math.

Available in paperback and Kindle:

Hi #HEPML, #ML4Jets, we have a community "Living Review" to keep up with the fast pace of #ML + #HEP: https://t.co/Cj3Hof53Z9. Your inputs and suggestions are most welcome!

Super excited that this was officially announced today! We've been trying to get this off the ground for more than a year now. Still lots of work to do, but it should be fun!

@TopPhysicist Do you have something specific in mind? I may have something (or want to make one).

Lots of cartoons in our event space paper, but they're more abstract.

I made this little animation showing the recent supernova SN2020jfo in M61. The amazing things that happen while we are in quarantine! It puts our social distancing in perspective. Credits to ESO and Lefty
