New Physics Agnostic Selections For New Physics Searches

We discuss a model-independent strategy for boosting new physics searches with the help of an unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm. Prior to a search, each input event is preprocessed by the algorithm - a variational autoencoder (VAE). Based on the loss assigned to each event, input data can be...
