1 NeuroBayes A modern analysis tool from High Energy Physics and its way as prognosis tool into business Prof. Dr. Michael Feindt CETA - Centrum für Elementarteilchen- und Astroteilchenphysik Universität Karlsruhe Phi-T GmbH, Karlsruhe Physikalisches Kolloquium Universität Siegen, June 21, 2007 Predictable The result of simple classical physics processes is exactly predictable (one cause leads to one definite unique result, determinism) Examples: pendulum, planets, billard, electromagnetism

2 Unpredictable Purely random processes are not predictable at all (even if the initial conditions are completely known!) Examples: Lottery (Too many tiny influences and branchings, deterministic chaos) radioactive decay (quantum mechanics) electronic noise Probability Many systems in nature and life: Mixture of predictable and unpredictable (quasi-) random or chaotic components. Probability statements, statistics.

3 Today s topic: Extraction of a predictable component from empirical data (or Monte Carlo simulations) Statistically relevant predictions for future events individual event Individualisisation of probability statements: mean event conditional probabilities: f(t x), dependent on individual event with properties x instead of general (a priori) probability f(t) Particle physics experiments Many identical experiments for many years: Collisions of e.g. electrons and positrons (at LEP)

4 Quantum Mechanics: In every collision something else happens! Experiments: Observe mean values, distributions, correlations, determine parameters (mean lifetime, spin, parity etc) from that. OPAL experiment at LEP NeuroBayes task 1: Classifications Classification: Binary targets: Each single outcome will be yes or no NeuroBayes output is the probability that answer is yes. Examples: > This elementary particle is a K meson. > Germany will become soccer world champion in now P=0 > Customer Meier will have liquidity problems in the next year. > Customer Müller will buy this product. > This equity price will rise.

5 NeuroBayes task 2: Conditional probability densities Probability density for real valued targets: For each possible (real) value a probability (density) is given. From that all statistical quantities like mean value, median, mode, standard deviation, percentiles etc can be deduced. Examples: > Energy of an elementary particle > Price change of an equity or option > Company turnaround or earnings Classification == Hypothesis testing Cut in a 1-dimensional real test-statistic which is correlated to the probability of hypothesis H0: Accept hypothesis H0, if t<t(cut) Error of 1. kind: P1(true hypothesis will be rejected) Error of 2. kind: P2(wrong hypothesis is accepted)

6 Hypothesis testing A statistical method is the better the nearer it reaches the point (1,1) in the purity-efficiency-plot Different cuts in in tt Optimal choice of working point according to particular task: How does the total error of the analysis scale with ε und P? Optimal working point Determining the working point (scan through cuts on network output)

7 Construction of a test statistic: How to make 100 dimensions one real number Neural networks Neural networks: Self learning procedures, copied from nature Frontal Lobe Motor Cortex Parietal Cortex Temporal Lobe Brain Stem Occipital Lobe Cerebellum

8 Neural networks The information (the knowledge, the expertise) is coded in the connections between the neurons Each neuron performs fuzzy decisions A neural network can learn from examples NeuroBayes principle Input Preprocessing NeuroBayes Teacher: Learning of complex relationships from existing data bases NeuroBayes Expert: Prognosis for unknown data Significance control Postprocessing Output

9 How it works: training and application Historic or simulated data Data set a =... b =... c = t =! NeuroBayes Teacher Actual (new real) data Expert system Expertise Probability that hypothesis is correct (classification) or probability density for variable t Data set a =... b =... c = t =? NeuroBayes Expert f t t Naïve neural networks and criticizm We vetriedthatbutitdidn tgivegood results - Stuck in local minimum -Learningnotrobust We ve tried that but it was worse than our 100 person-years analytical high tech algorithm - Selected too naive input variables - Use your fancy algorithm as INPUT! We ve tried that but the predictions were wrong - Overtraining: the net learned statistical fluctuations Yeah but how can you estimate systematic errors? - How can you with cuts when variables are correlated? - Tests on data, data/mc agreement etc possible and done.

10 Address all these topics and build a professional robust and flexible neural network package for physics, insurance, bank and industry applications: NeuroBayes <phi-t>: Foundation out of University of Karlsruhe, sponsored by exist-seed-programme of the federal ministery for Education and Research BMBF History NeuroBayes -specialisation for economy at the University of Karlsruhe Oct. 2002: GmbH founded, first industrial projects June 2003: Removal into new office 199 qm IT-Portal Karlsruhe Exclusive rights for NeuroBayes Staff all physicists (almost all from HEP) Customers (among others): BGV and VKB car insurances AXA and Central health insurances Lupus Alpha Asset Management dm drogerie markt (drugstore chain) Otto Versand (mail order business) Libri (book wholesale) Thyssen Krupp (steel industry)

11 <phi-t> NeuroBayes > is based on neural 2nd generation algorithms, Bayesian regularisation, optimised preprocessing with transformations and decorrelation of input variables and linear correlation to output. > learns extremely fast due to 2nd order methods > is extremly robust against outliers > is immune against learning by heart statistical noise > tells you if there is nothing relevant to be learned > delivers sensible prognoses already with small statistics > can make binary decisions (classification) > can predict complete probability densities

22 Physics Research Examples I Classification: Hadron Identification (DELPHI at CERN): Doubled signal strength at constant background level by neural network classification original method : several 10 millions CHF cost NeuroBayes predecessor: Additional factor of 2 with very limited additional effort

23 NeuroBayes soft electron identification for forcdf II II (Ulrich Kerzel, Michael Milnik, M.F.) Thesis U. U. Kerzel: on on basis of of Soft Electron Collection (much more efficient than cut selection or orjetnet with same inputs - after clever preprocessing by byhand and careful learning parameter choice this could also be beas as good as as NeuroBayes Physics Research Examples II Classification: electron identification at CDF II (Fermilab, USA) J/psi to electron signal increased by 135% by NeuroBayes --> > Efficiency gain for single electron identification 53%

24 Physics Research Examples III (DELPHI, CERN) Optimised reconstruction of real valued quantities: extended regression much improved resolution (narrow peak around +-0) + by NeuroBayes-technology Physics Research Examples IV (DELPHI, CERN) Resolution of azimuthal angle of inclusively Resolution of azimuthal angle of inclusively reconstructed B-hadrons in the DELPHIdetector reconstructed B-hadrons in the DELPHIdetector first neural reconstruction of a direction first neural reconstruction of a direction NeuroBayes NeuroBayes phi-direction phi-direction Best Best classical" classical" chi**2- chi**2- fit fit (BSAURUS) (BSAURUS) After selection cut on estimated error: No No selection: After selection cut on estimated error: selection: Resolution massively improved, no tails Improved Improved resolution Resolution massively improved, no tails resolution ==> allows reliable selection of good events ==> allows reliable selection of good events

25 Hadron collider: No No good MC for forbackgrounds available MC for forresonance production with different J PC PC assumptions Idea: take background from sidebands in in data check that network cannot learn mass X(3872) analysis: X soft NeuroBayes selection signal-like background-like hardly loose any signal

26 Hard NeuroBayes cut: Very clean X(3872) signal Training with weights: Neural Network Spin Parity Analysis Use data from sidebands as background sample Use phase space decay MC with modelled p T distribution as signal sample Calculate squared amplitudes for specific spin-parity assignments and use as weights in training Hard cut on neural network trained by correct hypothesis should increase signal over background

27 J PC PC =1 =1 (ππ) s hypothesis s Very hard NeuroBayes cuts: a not so so good hypothesis for forx J PC PC =1 =1 (ππ) ss hypothesis Very hard NeuroBayes cuts: A good hypothesis for forx CDF II II (also without NN): X(3872) can only be be (preferred) or or Decay into J/ψ ρisospin violating if ifsimple charmonium. X is isa good candidate for fora D^*D molecule (directly on on threshold)

28 Search for fororbitally excited B ss in in B + K -- (with B + J/ψ K) K) (Martin Heck, Michal Kreps, M.F.) NeuroBayes helps helps in in finding hitherto undiscovered hadrons Clear Clear evidence for for two two peaks Stability against network cuts cuts proven Making MC for forhadronic background without specific model: Multidimensional correlated regression using NeuroBayes Use data in non-resonance region as signal Use phase space MC as background Train NeuroBayes network, NN output O is Bayesian a posteriori probability that event stems from signal (i.e. data distribution) rather than phase space MC: O=P(S) with P(S)+P(B)=1 Calculate weight W= P(S)/P(B) = O/(1-O) Phase space MC events with this weight W look like data! MC modelling of complicated background is possible! Opens new roads for likelihood fits

29 Some kinematical variable distributions (J/ψ π + π - selection) Black: real data Red: weighted phase space MC NeuroBayes: Increase of of efficiency at at same purity as as best cut based selection: Improve significance from 18.4 to to 22.1 Optimisation of of B ss reconstruction for forb ss oscillation analysis
