TMVA Project in Machine Learning
- Aug 13, 2016
Being a Machine learning enthusiast, I was overjoyed when my Google Summer of Code proposal to CERN SFT was accepted. My project involved lot of understanding and research in the field of Machine Learning. I designed and implemented various feature extraction methods in the TMVA toolkit. This blog post details the work I have been doing on this project for the past 4 months with CERN members.
Autoencoders Implementation Design II

In this post, I’ll discuss in detail about the design and implementation of Autoencoder transformation in TMVA. I am making all the changes in the branch develop (initially it was autoencoder
, I renamed it) of my fork. I’ll be adding all the new features in this branch only. All the code can later be merged from this branch.

In this post, I’d like to discuss the existing architecture of variable transformation.
Progress Update

Last two weeks, I mostly spent on learning ROOT tools and exploring ideas for showcasing VarTransform method by visual plots. One of the explored ideas that appealed me the most is Histogram i.e. displaying the variances of variables on a histogram and show the selected and rejected variables. Below is the kind of plot I had in mind:
Getting started with Variable Transformation

In the past two weeks, I had two meetings over Skype with my mentor Sergei Gleyzer. One was personal meet and other was a general meeting of all TMVA developers. The one to one personal meet was a short Skype call on 19th May. We discussed about the work done and the first task I’d be focussing on. On 27th May, we had our first kickoff session to mark the beginning of Google Summer of Code program and getting introduced to fellow TMVA developers and mentors. We explained our projects in short and reported our progress in the past weeks. It lasted for about 45 minutes and it was very motivational for me. All the mentors are really cool and positive. We’d be having such general meetings once or twice a month.
