NERSC Postdoc Publishes OmniLearn: a Foundation Model for Jets in High Energy Physics

NERSC postdoctoral researcher Vinicius Mikuni, part of the NESAP program, has published an innovative paper titled OmniLearn: A Method to Simultaneously Facilitate All Jet Physics Tasks, currently under peer review. The research introduces OmniLearn, a machine learning-based approach that advances multiple high energy physics challenges by leveraging a single, versatile model.

Jet physics, central to high-energy particle collisions, presents complex challenges due to its high-dimensional nature. Mikuni’s work demonstrates how machine learning models, trained for jet classification and generation tasks, can enhance accuracy, precision, and efficiency across various other jet-related applications and open benchmarks. The OmniLearn model shows versatility in tasks ranging from multiclass classification, anomaly detection, unfolding, and generative modeling, making it a foundational tool for high energy physics analysis with jets. The study included results evaluated across 10 different datasets.

OmniLearn is publicly available, providing researchers across high energy physics with a new resource to push the boundaries of AI-driven precision in jet substructure analysis.
