Abstract

A prior-informed large language model (LLM) driven multi-task learning framework is proposed for the unified and accurate description of multiple nuclear observables. By fine-tuning the pre-trained DeepSeek-R1-1.5B model with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), lightweight adapters are introduced while preserving general pre-trained parameters. Under a causal language modeling paradigm, the model is trained autoregressively on deviations between experimental and theoretical values. Significant accuracy improvements are achieved across seven observables, including charge radii, masses, binding energies, separation energies, and decay energies, with the training loss decreasing by over 98% across all tasks. This demonstrates that the LLM-based framework, through structured prior embedding, offers an efficient and shared approach for multi-task regression in fundamental nuclear properties.

SuperJEPA: Pretraining with a Supervision-Augmented Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture for High Energy Physics

Foundation models often obtain powerful results through very large unlabeled training datasets that dwarf available labeled datasets in size, but high energy physics already provides large samples of high-fidelity labeled simulation. We therefore ask whether self-supervised objectives improve over supervised pretrainin...

How to scale your HEP ML models: A recipe for robust architecture comparisons at scale

Much of the recent progress in machine learning domains such as language models has come from scaling laws that predict performance as a function of training effort. In high-energy physics (HEP) similar behavior has now been observed. To aid further study, we present a systematic procedure to derive robust scaling laws...

Self-Supervised Learning for Robust Resonance Mass Regression in Cascade Decays

Reconstructing the mass of a heavy resonance from its decay products with missing energy is one of the central tasks that directly determine the sensitivity in new physics searches at collider experiments. Supervised learning approaches to this problem often struggle to generalize well due to the presence of various sy...
