The paper presents a self‑supervised learning approach for reconstructing the mass of a heavy resonance in cascade decays with missing energy. By pre‑training a transformer encoder with VICReg to learn corruption‑invariant embeddings and then fine‑tuning for mass regression, the authors demonstrate sharper resonance peaks and more stable performance compared to a supervised model trained from scratch on the same data. The study focuses on resonances with masses between 2.5 and 6.5 TeV decaying into an eleven‑body final state.

The paper introduces a data‑driven method for pairing events at the Large Hadron Collider using the energy mover's distance (EMD) to measure similarity, thereby creating augmentation‑free views for self‑supervised pre‑training. By matching distinct events based on EMD, the approach preserves the physics content of each event without handcrafted distortions. Experiments on QCD jets demonstrate that this pairing technique yields semantic jet embeddings with downstream discrimination power comparable to or better than traditional augmentation‑based baselines.
Zero-Shot Self-Supervised Learning (ZS-SSL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction, eliminating the reliance on fully-sampled external datasets. However, learning solely from a single under-sampled scan suffers from supervision scarcity and optimization instability, often leading to overfitting or artifacts.

arXiv:2606. 14373v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The workflow from particle collision to physics analysis passes through a series of reconstruction steps that are traditionally modular and disconnected, with no shared representation linking low-level detector data to high-level analysis tasks.
The paper applies sparse autoencoders to a neutrino foundation model trained on IceCube data, uncovering a validated atlas of physical concepts within the model’s internal representation. Causal analysis shows the direction reconstruction head largely ignores this atlas, whereas an uncertainty head trained on the same representation effectively uses quality and brightness features, improving angular resolution from 20.2° to 3.2° at 20% efficiency. These findings demonstrate that mechanistic interpretability can expose latent physics and guide the design of downstream tasks.
