Abstract

Calorimeter shower simulations are computationally expensive, and generative models offer an efficient alternative. However, achieving a balance between accuracy and speed remains a challenge, with distribution tail modeling being a key limitation. Invertible generative network CaloINN provides a trade-off between simulation quality and efficiency. The ongoing study targets introducing a set of post-processing modifications of analysis-level observables aimed at improving the accuracy of distribution tails. As part of interTwin project initiative developing an open-source Digital Twin Engine, we implemented the CaloINN within the interTwin AI framework.

Requested changes

Section 3:
Its implementation within itwinai benefits from the framework’s experiment tracking, configuration management, and workflow orchestration, thereby ensuring reproducibility and facilitating large-scale experiments.
-> Can this be made more concrete?

Section 4:
Perhaps refrain from statements like "of the most promising generative model, CaloINN." without a detailed evaluation why this should be the *most* promising model.

"trained on datasets with artificially enhanced tails" -> provide the equation/mechanism used to create this

"These ratios are subsequently applied during inference to reweight and correct the generated distributions," -> provide equations and references (at least the description provided here does not sound like FastPerfekt, but rather DTCR)
