Machine learning plays a crucial role in enhancing and accelerating the search for new fundamental physics. We review the state of machine learning methods and applications for new physics searches in the context of terrestrial high energy physics experiments, including the Large Hadron Collider, rare event searches, and neutrino experiments. While machine learning has a long history in these fields, the deep learning revolution (early 2010s) has yielded a qualitative shift in terms of the scope and ambition of research. These modern machine learning developments are the focus of the present review.

  1. Learning Standard Model structure from LHC data with Riemannian flow matching

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    ShellFlow, a Riemannian flow-matching transformer fed only on-shell and invariant-mass priors and ~8×10^8 recorded ATLAS events, reproduces the SM's dilepton resonances, Weinberg angle, and top/W mass peaks in a singl...

  2. Explicit or Implicit? Encoding Physics at the Precision Frontier

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On three precision classification tasks — reweighting-based unfolding, likelihood-ratio estimation, and weakly supervised anomaly detection — a Lorentz-equivariant transformer and a pretrained foundation model perform...

  3. Look everywhere effects in anomaly detection

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Weakly supervised anomaly detectors that train and test on the same data produce badly miscalibrated p-values; independent test sets are calibrated but insensitive, while k-fold cross-validation is a workable middle ground.

  4. Optimal Transport Event Representation for Anomaly Detection

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Adding a few optimal-transport-based features to standard jet observables nearly doubles anomaly-detection significance at 0.5% signal injection on LHC Olympics benchmarks.

  5. Shedding Light on Dark Matter at the LHC with Machine Learning

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A machine-learned LHC analysis projects 5-sigma sensitivity to singlino-dominated NMSSM dark matter via radiative higgsino decays to photons, covering higgsino masses up to 225 GeV.

  6. Generator Based Inference (GBI)

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Generator Based Inference uses data-derived background generators to turn resonant anomaly detection into parameter estimation, reaching 0.1 sigma signal sensitivity on the LHCO benchmark.
