Identification of tau leptons using a convolutional neural network with domain adaptation in the CMS experiment /CMS Collaboration
The DeepTau identification algorithm, based on deep neural network techniques, has been developed to reduce the fraction of jets, muons, and electrons misidentified as hadronically decaying tau leptons ($\tau_\mathrm{h}$) in the CMS experiment. The latest version of this algorithm includes domain adaptation by backpropagation, a technique that reduces data-to-simulation discrepancies in the region with the highest purity of genuine $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ candidates.
