Week 6: Evalulating Model Performance and Robustness

Topics

This week’s assignments will guide you through the following topics:

  • Evaluating the model’s performance

  • Testing the model’s output’s correlation with other variables of interest

Reading

Please skim the following:

  • Ref. [15]

  • Introduction of Ref. [16]

Tasks

Complete the following tasks:

  • Run through the notebook

  • Edit it to make the 2D correlation with jet \(p_T\)

Weekly Questions

Answer the following questions on Canvas:

  • Explain how it be the neural network output can be correlated with the jet mass when that is not an input.

  • Why is the correlation with jet pT less strong than with jet mass?
