Description

Neural network training for LHC event generation should, ideally, benefit from common high-level patterns in different processes. We propose novel conditioning schemes for continuous parameters, process labels, and Feynman diagrams. We employ pre-trained LLMs as multi-modal foundation models to provide descriptive embeddings for an autoregressive transformer. With such high-level physics-inductive bias the generative networks converge faster, provide better result, and generalize to unseen processes.
