The analyses employ proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb<span class=\"math-tex\">\\(^{-1}\\)</span>&nbsp;collected during Run 2 of the LHC between 2016 and 2018.</p>\n\n<p>Purpose-built Machine Learning algorithms are developed in these&nbsp;searches in order&nbsp;to discriminate the rare signal processes from the large background, consisting mostly of production processes of top quark pairs in association with a <span class=\"math-tex\">\\(Z\\)</span>&nbsp;boson or a photon.</p>\n\n<p>Additionally, this thesis describes the treatments&nbsp;used to describe the modeling and simulation of the <span class=\"math-tex\">\\(tWZ \\)</span> and&nbsp;<span class=\"math-tex\">\\(tW\\gamma\\)</span>&nbsp;production process.</p>",
