Abstract

In this article we examine recent developments in the research area concerning the creation of end-to-end models for the complete optimization of measuring instruments. The models we consider rely on differentiable programming methods and on the specification of a software pipeline including all factors impacting performance — from the data-generating processes to their reconstruction and the inference on the parameters of interest — along with the careful specification of a utility function well aligned with the end goals of the experiment.

Building on previous studies originated within the MODE Collaboration, we focus specifically on applications involving instruments for particle physics experimentation, as well as industrial and medical applications that share the detection of radiation as their data-generating mechanism.

This report illustrates the most recent advancements in the area, and outlines, for each of the discussed applications as well as for automatic differentiation itself, ongoing and future work.

基于可微规划的基础物理实验仪器端到端优化研究进展

在本文中，我们研究了有关创建端到端模型以完全优化测量仪器的研究领域的最新发展。我们考虑的模型依赖于可微分编程方法和软件管道的规范，包括影响性能的所有因素-从数据生成过程到它们的重建和对感兴趣参数的推断-以及与实验最终目标一致的实用函数的仔细规范。在MODE合作组织以前的研究基础上，我们特别关注涉及粒子物理实验仪器的应用，以及共享辐射检测作为其数据生成机制的工业和医疗应用。本报告说明了该领域的最新进展，并概述了所讨论的每个应用程序以及自动区分本身正在进行的和未来的工作。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Physics is a gold open access Journal, publishing review papers on topics in all areas of (applied) physics. The journal provides a platform for researchers who wish to summarize a field of physics research and share this work as widely as possible. The published papers provide an overview of the main developments on a particular topic, with an emphasis on recent developments, and sketch an outlook on future developments. The journal focuses on short review papers (max 15 pages) and these are freely available after publication. All submitted manuscripts are fully peer-reviewed and after acceptance a publication fee is charged to cover all editorial, production, and archiving costs.
