DeepMET: Improving missing transverse momentum estimation with a deep neural network /CMS Collaboration
At hadron colliders, the net transverse momentum of particles that do not interact with the detector (missing transverse momentum) is a crucial observable in many analyses. In the standard model, missing transverse momentum originates from neutrinos. [...]

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 (τh) 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 τh candidates.

Unveiling the dynamics of long-range correlations in high-multiplicity jets through substructure engineering in pp collisions at s=13 TeV /CMS Collaboration
Recent CMS data have revealed long-range correlations at high charged-particle multiplicity (Njch) within jets produced in proton-proton (pp) collisions, suggesting collective behavior in systems much smaller than those typical of heavy ion collisions. In the polar coordinate system about the reconstructed jet axis, two-particle azimuthal correlations show an unexpected rise in elliptic anisotropy (v2) at large pseudorapidity separations (Δη>2) as a function of Njch, a trend not reproduced by event generators like \textsc{pythia} or \textsc{sherpa}. In this paper, we present detailed measurements of long-range correlations using LHC Run 2 data at s=13 TeV and compare the results with model predictions. [...]
