JetParticle-JEPA: An Efficient Self-Supervised Representation Learning method for Jet Tagging in High-Energy Physics

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.

Learning the Geometry of Collider Events with Metric-Aware Deep Sets

The paper introduces a Deep Sets surrogate for optimal transport (OT) that respects key metric properties—non-negativity, exchange symmetry, and zero self-distance—while leaving the triangle inequality unconstrained. Applied to the Energy Mover's Distance between collider events, the Metric-Aware Particle Flow Network achieves percent‑level mean absolute percentage error and markedly higher inference throughput compared to other exact and approximate methods. The architectural constraints also dramatically reduce triangle‑inequality violations, improving geometric fidelity across a large set of held‑out event triplets.

A Lightweight Foundation Model for Collider Physics with Multi-Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2607. 27501v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a lightweight approach to foundation modeling (\textbf{NEXUS}) that leverages pre-trained learning from collider physics data towards out-of-domain tasks in other scientific datasets, using a fully connected autoencoder model with approximately 3 million parameters.
