The paper introduces HyPER, a hypergraph-based graph neural network architecture designed to reconstruct short-lived particles in collider experiments. By leveraging hypergraph representation learning, HyPER builds more powerful and efficient representations of collider events, enabling accurate reconstruction of parent particles from final-state objects. In simulations, HyPER outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art techniques while using fewer parameters, and its flexible hypergraph approach can be applied to a wide range of physics processes.

VyPER is a new geometric learning framework that reconstructs particle collider events by representing them as hypergraphs with a physics-inspired topology. It tackles two key tasks: assigning measured jets and leptons to their parent particles through supervised hyperedge classification, and predicting neutrino kinematics using a diffusion model, all optimized jointly with a shared loss function. The authors evaluate VyPER on various proton‑proton collision processes, showing improved performance over existing analytical and machine‑learning methods and enabling more precise measurements in Higgs, electroweak, and top‑quark studies.

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 introduces a particle‑level generative model that uses residual‑quantized full‑event data to enable fast, ML‑based surrogate simulation for collider events. It demonstrates conditional generation from detector‑stable particles, explores scaling across dataset and model sizes, and shows that token‑level loss predicts downstream physical fidelity. The work offers an empirical framework for scalable collider full‑event generation using residual‑quantized representations.

arXiv:2606. 14813v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jet tagging at the Large Hadron Collider increasingly relies on deep learning models trained on massive simulated datasets, leading to high computational costs and limited robustness to detector mismodeling.
