List and prioritise possible applications/use cases

Created by: asogaard

Proposal by @asogaard:

Graph-level classification: Either topological, inspired by Naoko's talk at the fall CM 2021 [1]:

  • Skimming ()
  • Stopping track ()
  • Throughgoing track ()
  • Starting track ()
  • Cascade ()
  • Double-bang cascade ()
  • Noise

or by process:

  • (throughgoing or stopping track)
  • (cascade)
  • (starting track)
  • (cascade, double-bang)
  • Noise

Specific classification tasks will then be concerned with (a subset of) these categories. Which categories are relevant depend on the detector (e.g. vs. not relevant/possible for IceCube-86) and the reconstruction level (e.g. vs. more relevant than flavour classification at earlier filtering levels).

Graph-level regression:

  • Neutrino reconstruction

Node-level classification:

  • Hit cleaning

Additional/techniques:

  • Training to mitigate systematic uncertainties (including variations in training, or using adversarial training)
  • General pre-training on surrogate task (cf. BERT)
