After working with the CMS + experiment for his PhD in particle physics, Jonas joined CERN in 2021 + to work on the ROOT project. He is takes care of the statistical + analysis libraries in ROOT, such as RooFit and Minuit 2, as well as + the ROOT Python interface. His other academic interests include + differential programming and financial markets. + description: | + RooFit is a C++ software for statistical data modeling that is part of + ROOT. It is widely used by the High Energy Physics (HEP) community, + most notably the LHC experiments. RooFits core feature is building and + numerically minimizing likelihood functions for parameter estimation + (aka. *fitting*). The minimization can be greatly sped up by using + reverse mode (Automatic Differentiation) AD, in particular for fits + with many parameters, as typical for the LHC experiments. This + presentation will tell the story of how AD was integrated to RooFit + powered by [Clad](https://github.com/vgvassilev/clad/), the AD tool + developed by Compiler Research. We will cover the integration strategy, + explain the particularities of AD in the context of likelihood fits, + and present benchmark results. The presentation will wrap up by + explaining the current limitations and plans for the future. More + information on AD in RooFit with Clad can also be found in + [this blog post](https://root.cern/blog/roofit-ad/) on the ROOT + website. + - name: "CaaS Monthly Meeting" date: 2025-05-15 17:00:00 +0200 time_cest: "17:00"
