Recently, there is a growing interest in exploiting these methods to reconstruct particle signatures from raw detector data. In order to benefit from modern deep learning algorithms that were initially designed for computer vision or natural language processing tasks, it is common practice to transform HEP data into images or sequences. Conversely, graph neural networks (GNNs), which operate on graph data composed of elements with a set of features and their pairwise connections, provide an alternative way of incorporating weight sharing, local connectivity, and specialized domain knowledge. Particle physics data, such as the hits in a tracking detector, can generally be represented as graphs, making the use of GNNs natural. In this chapter, we recapitulate the mathematical formalism of GNNs and highlight aspects to consider when designing these networks for HEP data, including graph construction, model architectures, learning objectives, and graph pooling. We also review promising applications of GNNs for particle tracking and reconstruction in HEP and summarize the outlook for their deployment in current and future experiments.","PeriodicalId":416365,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence for High Energy Physics","volume":"27 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116429974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They allow us to generate high-fidelity simulated data, but they are not well-suited for inference on the theory parameters with observed data. We explain why the likelihood function of high-dimensional LHC data cannot be explicitly evaluated, why this matters for data analysis, and reframe what the field has traditionally done to circumvent this problem. We then review new simulation-based inference methods that let us directly analyze high-dimensional data by combining machine learning techniques and information from the simulator. Initial studies indicate that these techniques have the potential to substantially improve the precision of LHC measurements. Finally, we discuss probabilistic programming, an emerging paradigm that lets us extend inference to the latent process of the simulator.","PeriodicalId":416365,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence for High Energy Physics","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125706125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
