Present: Dustin, Jean-Roch, Josh, Mayur, Paolo, Steve,

Hot items:

• Steve presented his hit predictors, showing results for 1D and 2D layers.

• December Milestone: produce our first simulated tracks dataset

• Conference contributions (poster, potentially paper):

  • Connecting the Dots/Intelligent Detector - LAL Mar 2017 (all plenary workshop)

    • Deadline Dec 9  → Paolo contact DR to understand whether we need to submit abstract

  • International conference of learning representations - ICLR, April 2017

    • Deadline for submissions to workshops late Jan ?

  • International conference of machine learning - icml 2017

    • Deadline for submissions Feb 5

Outstanding Action Items:

• Pietro → introduce group activities

• Maria: I want to try to put all the agendas and the links and the minutes in a Basecamp : do you people use Basecamp? Pietro Shall we try? Others?

  • PC: Indico+google seems to work but I am open to evaluate basecamp

• Data Storage: JBK

• Paolo: add acknowledgment of PCKF on HEP.TrkX web page https://heptrkx.github.io DONE

• Computing platform:

  • NERSC ERCAP allocation:  Lali said we can start when we want

    • NERSC account request form

  • PC submitted NERSC ERCAP request for 1.2M hours 5+5 TB storage

  • CalTech GPU servers. Jean-Roch contact person if you need access.

New Action Items:

 

Round the Table for Status Reports:

Caltech

FNAL

LBNL

Paolo: found double (and triple!) hits in generated dataset. Will provide some python code to merge them upon reading. Test files, and a conversion script, uploaded to our google drive.

 

Mayur: single track 3D “Kalman Filter”

Reading ACTS tracks in cylindrical coords. Generally works but prediction does not appear get closer to data with the layers. Next steps:

• add more data from generated sample,
• add gradient prediction of gradient,
• pykalman implementation as reference.
