Machine-learning Optimized Design of Experiments

ABOUT

MODE (for Machine-learning Optimized Design of Experiments) is a collaboration of physicists and computer scientists who target the use of differentiable programming in design optimization of detectors for particle physics applications, extending from fundamental research at accelerators, in space, and in nuclear physics and neutrino facilities, to industrial applications employing the technology of radiation detection.
We aim to develop modular, customizable, and scalable, fully differentiable pipelines for the end-to-end optimization of articulated objective functions that model in full the true goals of experimental particle physics endeavours, to ensure optimal detector performance, analysis potential, and cost-effectiveness.

The main goal of our activities is to develop an architecture that can be adapted to the above use cases but will also be customizable to any other experimental endeavour employing particle detection at its core. We welcome suggestions, as well as interest in joining our effort, by researchers focusing on use cases for which this technology can be of benefit.

The above program is supported as an expression of interest by the JENAA group.

WORKSHOP

The Fourth MODE Workshop on Differentiable Programming for experiment design will take place at IFIC Valencia! Registration and abstract submission are already open in the indico page!. Keynote talks by Danilo Rezende (DeepMind), Andrea Walther (HUBerlin), and Riccardo Zecchina (Bocconi).
