hep_ml, python library for high energy physics

Main features

  • uniform classifiers - the classifiers with low correlation of predictions and mass (or some other variable, or even set of variables)
    • uBoost optimized implementation inside
    • UGradientBoosting (with different losses, specially FlatnessLoss is of high interest)
  • measures of uniformity (see hep_ml.metrics)
  • advanced losses for classification, regression and ranking for UGradientBoosting (see hep_ml.losses).
  • hep_ml.nnet - theano-based flexible neural networks
  • hep_ml.reweight - reweighting multidimensional distributions
    (multi here means 2, 3, 5 and more dimensions - see GBReweighter!)
  • hep_ml.splot - minimalistic sPlot-ting
  • hep_ml.speedup - building models for fast classification (Bonsai BDT)
  • sklearn-compatibility of estimators.

Installation

Basic installation:

pip install hep_ml
