Aim of the course -

The course "Machine Learning in Particle Physics" provides students with a basic introduction to machine learning applications with an emphasis on practical skills. Classes are taught on the Chimera computing cluster, where students work with Jupyter notebooks and install the necessary libraries, including TensorFlow. Students are introduced to basic machine learning concepts such as classification, regression, generalization error, loss functions, and metrics. Emphasis is placed on understanding and practical use of the TensorFlow API, including data conversion and manipulation. The course includes an introduction to various neural network architectures, such as logistic regression, multilayer perceptron, convolutional and recurrent networks, and transformers, with applications focused on common problems in particle physics. The course is taught in a tutorial format where students actively apply the knowledge they have acquired. It is recommended that students bring their laptop with an internet connection.
