Machine Learning Techniques for Tagging Heavy Flavor Jets at RHIC

The properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), a hot and dense medium made up of deconfined quarks and gluons (partons), can be studied through ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. In the early stages of the collisions, high energy partons are created, which fragment into collimated sprays of hadrons, called jets. Jets are used to probe the entire evolution of the QGP that they traverse. Classifying jets based on the flavor of the parton that initiated them as heavy or light is a fundamental tool for studying the properties of the QGP as different flavors interact differently with the medium. Jets resulting from heavy ion collisions are compared to those resulting from proton-proton collisions to study their modification in the medium. Therefore, as a first step, we use jets resulting from simulated proton-proton events for the identifying their flavors, which could be extended to identifying jets resulting from heavy-ion events once heavy flavor features are added to heavy-ion event generators. We utilize different deep learning techniques and employ different strategies to minimize the misidentification probability while maintaining the efficiency of tagging heavy flavor jets at RHIC. Similar analysis has been done for LHC √ experiments but never at RHIC energies ( rates of heavy flavor jets to light flavor jets is very low. In this paper, we compare and contrast the performances of the different models we have developed for tagging heavy flavor jets at RHIC energies

Matematika dalam Rasionalitas Al-Qur’an; Bukti Perenialisme Atas Nalar Saintifik

AbstractIslam is a rational religion. Islam, through the Koran, can prove its rationality by proof of its perennial teachings. Rational perennial teachings are derived in profane life through scientific reasoning as well as mathematics and its derivatives. The verses of al-Qur'an are a form of aqliyah statement which is a guide for knowledgeable people to organize their lives in guiding their journey to find the truth. The proofs of rationality (aqliyah) in the Koran always prioritize logic but do not ascribe to al-Haqq. Mathematics is only a tool to absolute truth, but absolute truth belongs only to al-haqq. Muslim scientists who use their rationality have found their rational logic in discovering sciences to dissect knowledge so that it is beneficial to humans, however their devotion to Allah is getting stronger when breaking knowledge that was once empty into reality. Therefore, the rationality of the Qur'an can be described in mathematics, as a science that is full of the virtues of reason and logic.Keywords: Mathematics, Rationality, Perennialism, Al-Qur'an, Aqliyah, AbstrakIslam adalah agama rasional. Islam melalui al-Qur’an dapat dibuktikan nalar rasionalitasnya dengan bukti-bukti ajarannya yang perenial. Ajaran-ajaran perenial yang rasional diderivasikan dalam kehidupan profan melalui nalar saintifik seperti halnya ilmu matematika dan turunannya. Ayat-ayat al-Qur’an merupakan bentuk pernyataan aqliyah yang merupakan panduan insan berilmu untuk menata kehidupannya dalam memandu perjalanannya mencari kebenaran. Bukti-bukti rasionalitas (aqliyah) dalam al-Qur’an selalu mengedepankan logika namun tidak menisbikan yang al-Haqq. Matematika hanya alat menuju kebenaran mutlak akan tetapi kebenaran mutlak hanya milik al-haqq. Ilmuwan muslim yang menggunakan rasionalitasnya telah menemukan logika rasionalnya dalam menemukan ilmu-ilmu guna membedah pengetahuan sehingga bermanfaat bagi manusia, namun demikian ketaqwaan mereka terhadap Allah semakin kuat ketika memecahkan pengetahuan yang dulunya hampa menjadi kenyataan. Oleh karena itu rasionalitas al-Qur’an dapat diuraikan dalam ilmu matematika, sebagai ilmu yang penuh dengan keutamaan nalar dan logika.Kata Kunci: Matematika, Rasionalitas, Perenialisme, Al-Quran, Aqliya

Free Nutritional Meals Program (Mbg) in Indonesia: Human Development according to an Islamic Perspective (Sharia Economic Review on Aspects of Insaniyah Development)

This study aims to analyze the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program from the scope of human capital development from an Islamic economic perspective. MBG, which was born from President Prabowo Subianto's government program, does not contradict Islamic teachings in the slightest. This is not only from an Islamic economic perspective but also from the spirit of implementing Pancasila values and the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. Moreover, world religions other than Islam also provide support for the MBG program according to their teachings, as do humanitarian institutions in the world. The research method used in this study is qualitative research with library research. With the accuracy of this methodology, its main focus is exploring the literature to provide strong reasons for theoretical and empirical facts. The results of this study confirm that the MBG program is under the principles of Islamic economics in Indonesia as outlined by the maqashid al-syariah taught by the Qur'an and strengthens the human capital development system (insaniah), especially Muslims who are in number the recipients of the tremendous benefits from the implementation of the program.Keywords: MBG; Indonesia; Human Capital; Islamic Economics; Maqashid al-Sharia

Analisis Penerapan Mutual Information pada Klasifikasi Status Studi Mahasiswa Menggunakan Naïve Bayes

Early identification of Student Study Status is essential for higher education institutions to implement proactive and strategic measures that facilitate timely completion of studies and mitigate dropout rates. This research intends to predict student study status with the Naïve Bayes method based on the features obtained from the implementation of Mutual Information. Feature selection through Mutual Information seeks to analyse the factors that most significantly impact the classification of student study status. The study status is categorized into three classes: dropout, enrolled, and graduate, based on 36 factors. The Mutual Information approach is employed to diminish data dimensions by discarding less relevant features while preserving critical information based on score values to achieve enhanced predictive accuracy. The selection of appropriate attributes enables the model to maintain simplicity while incorporating critical information aspects that significantly impact performance. Experiments were performed on a dataset comprising student academic variables, with data partitioning ratios of 80:20, 70:30, and 50:50 for training and testing datasets. The classification outcomes utilizing Naïve Bayes, without the use of Mutual Information across the three testing ratios, exhibited the accuracy of 68.29% in the 70:30 data split. Simultaneously, the classification outcomes utilizing Mutual Information across three test ratios are as follows: 71.64% accuracy at an 80:20 ratio with 10 selected attributes, 72.06% at a 70:30 ratio with 10 selected attributes, and the highest accuracy of 72.65% at a 50:50 ratio using 15 attributes. The utilization of the Naïve Bayes method for classifying student study status demonstrates enhanced accuracy when integrated with Mutual Information for feature selection. The findings of this study demonstrate that Mutual Information can streamline data by considering the quantity of attribute selections according to the ranking of their score values
