DNN

• DeepCSV [Jan Kieseler @ CMS]
  • Almost 80%* b vs. light flavour discrimination efficiency for 1% misid. prob.
  • Re-training of the DNN increased performance even (slightly) more (Re-trained on 40M jets from QCD and top-quark pair events)
  • First successful step towards DNN-based taggers in CMS
• DeepFlavor: Conv + Recurrent + Dense
