<b class="">Title: </b>Simultaneously Unfolding All Observables with Deep Learning</div>
<div class=""><b class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: AvenirNext-Regular;">Abstract: </b><font color="#000000" face="AvenirNext-Regular" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">Unfolding is the procedure
by which the "recorded" detector-level distribution of an observable is corrected for detector effects and other sources of noise to obtain the "true" particle-level distribution. It is a ubiquitous step in the measurement of particle physics quantities, but
many procedures in common use suffer acutely from the curse of dimensionality when trying to unfold multi-differential distributions due to their explicit reliance on histograms. In this talk, I will discuss a method, OmniFold, that uses deep learning to take
advantage of the full phase-space information at both detector and truth levels to find the maximum likelihood solution to the unfolding problem. OmniFold learns a universal weighting of truth events such that the distribution of any observable can be calculated.
The method is demonstrated on simulated Z+jet events at the LHC using the Pythia and Herwig event generators and the Delphes detector package. It is compared to Iterated Bayesian Unfolding, the maximum likelihood solution restricted to histograms, on a variety
of jet substructure observables, showing equal or improved robustness in all cases. Prospects and challenges for improving future measurements at colliders like the LHC and EIC will be discussed.</span></font></div>
