AI scaling laws predict particle physics model performance before training

Researchers have developed a method to predict the performance of large machine learning models in particle physics before they are trained, using scaling laws. By fitting a joint model-and-data scaling law on smaller models, they can forecast the loss of significantly larger models trained with substantially more compute, achieving high accuracy. This predictive capability allows for the translation of compute budgets into expected physics performance, aiding in the efficient allocation of resources for tasks like jet tagging and background rejection. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient allocation of computational resources for training large AI models in scientific domains.

    Predict before you train: Scaling Laws for particle physics foundation models

    arXiv:2607.23377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The largest machine learning models in particle physics are also the most expensive to train, yet the return on scaling a given architecture cannot be estimated before that compute is spent. Scaling laws have been fit for jets, bu…
