Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for High Energy Physics: Computational and data science research to enable discoveries in fundamental physics

My GAN co-author Sherjil Ozair has written about some memories of 2012-2014 in the context of GANs winning one of this year's test of time awards, worth a read for the nostalgia if you were around back then, or for learning what it was like if you weren't

Kicking off the first plenary of #CHEP2024 is @alheld_ with a fantastic talk on the boundary pushing @iris_hep 200 Gbps Challenge! https://t.co/hp9bWyIB5R

[Matthew Feickert @HEPfeickert]

This is the first @JOSS_TheOJ publication to come out of the @ATLASexperiment collaboration, and so I was proud to be the editor for this submission. Congratulations ATLAS Flavour Tagging on the publication of Umami in JOSS! https://t.co/lBXahnOK7k

Late but...in May I attended my PhD grad ceremony! It was nice to see friends and a bit nostalgic too. After defending my thesis in 2023 I had little time to celebrate, moved to SF and then ZH, so this was extra special.
I can't thank enough to everyone who made this possible💜

[Matthew Feickert @HEPfeickert]

It was wonderful to have @KyleCranmer give such a fantastic keynote at #SciPy2024! He covered a story more than 20 years in the making and one that is continuing through strong community investment! :D I can’t wait to share this with everyone once the recording is up on YouTube.

[Matthew Feickert @HEPfeickert]

Great update from @iris_hep’s Jim Pivarski on the state of Scikit-HEP’s Awkward Array in the Tools Plenary at #SciPy2024! https://t.co/x1ZNvBla0q

[Kyle Cranmer @KyleCranmer]

I love seeing new applications of simulation-based inference (SBI) show up in new areas of science, and was thrilled to see it get mentioned in the PCAST report. @uwMadStat @WisconsinCS @UWMadisonLS

Check out this nice @CERNCourier article on the pMSSM Scan we recently published, which used RECAST to analyze many thousands of SUSY models in a single coherent framework.

The Data Science Institute and Morgridge Institute for Research are hosting scientists from around the world this week at the IRIS-HEP All Hands Meeting. IRIS-HEP develops software for high energy physics applications. It received a $25M renewal from @NSF last week.

[Matthew Feickert @HEPfeickert]

At the #SciPy2023 tools plenary @HenrySchreiner3 gives an update on everything new with scikit-build! https://t.co/SXJPLhyYxs

[Łukasz Langa @llanga]

Wow. @Meta commits to dedicate three engineer-years to implement the removal of the GIL from #Python and fix upcoming compatibility and performance issues with it.

All this dependent on whether the Steering Council accepts PEP 703.

IRIS-HEP Member Sudhir Malik and others are working to make physics research opportunities available at primarily undergraduate institutions.

[symmetry magazine @symmetrymag]

Despite challenges, some physics faculty at predominantly undergraduate institutions make research experiences available to students.

[IRIS-HEP @iris_hep]

Highlighting the work of IRIS-HEP Member, Sudhir Malik and others to expand undergraduate physics research to community colleges.

[symmetry magazine @symmetrymag]

As the physics world seeks to recruit and retain the next generation of scientists and engineers, it often looks to undergraduate research experiences as the first step. https://t.co/Kd5GSUlVz1

[pyhf - python HistFactory @pyhf_]

We're quite late in announcing this, but even more proud to share that #pyhf became a @NumFOCUS Affiliated Project in December, 2022! https://t.co/qUtvOalNBW It is great to be in excellent company and we're looking forward to strengthening our user and developer community.

[Dask @dask_dev]

Do you have nested, variable-size data? Folks at @anacondainc have been giving Awkward Array the Dask treatment.

We are thankful that they've donated the project to the Dask Contrib community projects org and we look forward to seeing it mature.

[IRIS-HEP @iris_hep]

Earlier today at #ACAT2022 IRIS-HEP Fellow Manasvi Goyal presented "The Awkward World of Python and C++" which covered work on interfacing Awkward array's C++ API with other C++ code. https://t.co/f0LKibhxCZ

[IRIS-HEP @iris_hep]

Today at #ACAT2022 IRIS-HEP's Garima Singh presented on work on Automatic differentiation of binned likelihoods with RooFit and Clad! https://t.co/lcN54Ns3Im

[Matthew Feickert @HEPfeickert]

(As Jim doesn't really use Twitter) Awkward array release candidate v2.0.0rc1 is available on PyPI for testing! If your library depends on awkward please test and give feedback!

python -m pip install --upgrade --pre awkward

https://t.co/a9Nmx74igx

Congrats to the Awkward team!

[PyHEP @PyHEPConf]

Now that we're back from the break at #PyHEP2022, we have a talk on end-to-end physics analysis with Open Data: the Analysis Grand Challenge by @alheld_. https://t.co/UAc3Qt9xGo https://t.co/k2Rb2NhkEs
