To analyse the properties of a B meson, it gets recombined from its decay daughters.<br> Since there are a lot of background events that mimic the signature of a B meson, it is<br> important to suppress these events. Such a suppression is called Continuum Suppression. This work aims to further improve the Deep Continuum Suppression, which is perfromed by a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), by three points: Firstly, an MLP needs a fixed order for input particles. Therefore, this thesis<br> presents a reliable, self-attention-based input mechanism which allows for invariance under<br> the particle order. Secondly, to guarantee certainty about the prediction of deep learning models, there is a<br> high interest in models with predictive uncertainties. This is addressed using the concept<br> of Deep Ensembles to predict uncertainties of continuum classifications.<br> Finally, the use of vertex information for the training of a model leads to a bias in<br> certain analysis variables. Since this could lead to falsification of further studies, a Distance<br> Correlation is used to decorrelate the Continuum Suppression model from third variables.</p></subfield> </datafield> <datafield tag="980" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">thesis</subfield> <subfield code="b">master-thesis</subfield> </datafield> </record>
