AbstractModels of physics beyond the Standard Model often contain a large number of parameters. These form a high-dimensional space that is computationally intractable to fully explore. Experimental results project onto a subspace of parameters that are consistent with those observations, but mapping these constraints to the underlying parameters is also typically intractable. Instead, physicists often resort to scanning small subsets of the full parameter space and testing for experimental consistency. We propose an alternative approach that uses generative models to significantly improve the computational efficiency of sampling high-dimensional parameter spaces. To demonstrate this, we sample the constrained and phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Models subject to the requirement that the sampled points are consistent with the measured Higgs boson mass. Our method achieves orders of magnitude improvements in sampling efficiency compared to a brute force search.

AbstractConstraining the parameters of physical models with $$>5-10$$>5-10 parameters is a widespread problem in fields like particle physics and astronomy. The generation of data to explore this parameter space often requires large amounts of computational resources. The commonly used solution of reducing the number of relevant physical parameters hampers the generality of the results. In this paper we show that this problem can be alleviated by the use of active learning. We illustrate this with examples from high energy physics, a field where simulations are often expensive and parameter spaces are high-dimensional. We show that the active learning techniques query-by-committee and query-by-dropout-committee allow for the identification of model points in interesting regions of high-dimensional parameter spaces (e.g. around decision boundaries). This makes it possible to constrain model parameters more efficiently than is currently done with the most common sampling algorithms and to train better performing machine learning models on the same amount of data.

We investigate periodicity suppression in two-dimensional parameter-spaces of discrete- and continuous-time nonlinear dynamical systems, modeled respectively by a two-dimensional map and a set of three first-order ordinary differential equations. We show for both cases that, by varying the amplitude of an external periodic forcing with a fixed angular frequency, windows of periodicity embedded in a chaotic region may be totally suppressed.
