Lorentz Boost Network (LBN)

TensorFlow implementation of the Lorentz Boost Network from arXiv:1812.09722 [hep-ex].

Original repository: git.rwth-aachen.de/3pia/lbn

Usage example

from lbn import LBN

# initialize the LBN, set 10 combinations and pairwise boosting
lbn = LBN(10, boost_mode=LBN.PAIRS)

# create a feature tensor based on input four-vectors
features = lbn(four_vectors)

# use the features as input for a subsequent, application-specific network
...

Installation and dependencies

Via pip:

pip install lbn

NumPy and TensorFlow are the only dependencies.

Testing

Tests should be run for Python 2 and 3. The following commands assume you are root directory of the LBN respository:

python -m unittest test

# or via docker, python 2
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/root/lbn -w /root/lbn tensorflow/tensorflow:latest python -m unittest test

# or via docker, python 3
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/root/lbn -w /root/lbn tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-py3 python -m unittest test
