Ephemeral Learning - Augmenting Triggers with Online-Trained Normalizing Flows

The large data rates at the LHC require an online trigger system to select relevant collisions. Rather than compressing individual events, we propose to compress an entire data set at once. We use a normalizing flow as a deep generative model to learn the probability density of the data online. T...
