Mind the Gap: Navigating Inference with Optimal Transport Maps

The paper introduces a model calibration method using optimal transport to address discrepancies between simulation and experimental data in high-dimensional machine learning applications. Applied to jet tagging in particle physics, the technique calibrates a 128‑dimensional latent representation from a general‑purpose classifier, ensuring downstream derived quantities are properly calibrated. This enables more reliable use of foundation models for jet flavor analysis in LHC experiments and offers a general framework for correcting high‑dimensional simulations across scientific fields.
