Researchers have developed foundation models, OmniLearned and ParticleViT, for particle physics that demonstrate cross-domain transfer capabilities. These models, pretrained on diverse collision data, show improved performance on neutrino interaction tasks compared to models trained from scratch. Notably, particle-level pretraining provides significant advantages over unrelated text pretraining like BERT, suggesting that these foundation models acquire generalizable inductive biases for detector-agnostic inference in particle physics.
