Background treatment is crucial to extract physics from precision experiments. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to assign each event a signal probability. This could then be used to weight the events contribution to the likelihood during fitting. To illustrate the effect of this method, we test it with MC samples. The consistence between the constructed background and the background from MC truth shows that the background subtraction method with probabilistic event weights is feasible in partial wave analysis at BES III.

A common situation in experimental physics is to have a signal which can not be separated from a non-interfering background through the use of any cut. In this paper, we describe a procedure for determining, on an event-by-event basis, a quality fact or ($Q$-factor) that a given event originated from the signal distribution. This procedure generalizes the side-band subtraction method to higher dimensions without requiring the data to be divided into bins. The $Q$-factors can then be used as event weights in subsequent analysis procedures, allowing one to more directly access the true spectrum of the signal.

We discuss a new method to extract neutrino signals in low energy experiments. In this scheme the symmetric nature of most backgrounds allows for direct cancellation from data. The application of this technique to the Palo Verde reactor neutrino osci llation experiment allowed us to reduce the measurement errors on the anti-neutrino flux from $sim 20$% to $sim 10$%. We expect this method to substantially improve the data quality in future low background experiments such as KamLAND and LENS.
textsc{Jewel} is a fully dynamical event generator for jet evolution in a dense QCD medium, which has been validated for multiple jet and jet-like observables. Jet constituents (partons) undergo collisions with thermal partons from the medium, leadin g to both elastic and radiative energy loss. The recoiling medium scattering centers carry away energy and momentum from the jet. Keeping track of these recoils is essential for the description of intra-jet observables. Since the thermal component of the recoils is part of the soft background activity, comparison with data on jet observables requires the implementation of a background subtraction procedure. We will show two independent procedures through which background subtraction can be performed and discuss the impact of the medium recoil on jet shape observables and jet-background correlations. Keeping track of the medium recoil significantly improves the textsc{Jewel} description of jet shape measurements.
In this work, we present a novel background subtraction system that uses a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to perform the segmentation. With this approach, feature engineering and parameter tuning become unnecessary since the network paramete rs can be learned from data by training a single CNN that can handle various video scenes. Additionally, we propose a new approach to estimate background model from video. For the training of the CNN, we employed randomly 5 percent video frames and their ground truth segmentations taken from the Change Detection challenge 2014(CDnet 2014). We also utilized spatial-median filtering as the post-processing of the network outputs. Our method is evaluated with different data-sets, and the network outperforms the existing algorithms with respect to the average ranking over different evaluation metrics. Furthermore, due to the network architecture, our CNN is capable of real time processing.
One important preprocessing step in the analysis of microarray data is background subtraction. In high-density oligonucleotide arrays this is recognized as a crucial step for the global performance of the data analysis from raw intensities to express ion values. We propose here an algorithm for background estimation based on a model in which the cost function is quadratic in a set of fitting parameters such that minimization can be performed through linear algebra. The model incorporates two effects: 1) Correlated intensities between neighboring features in the chip and 2) sequence-dependent affinities for non-specific hybridization fitted by an extended nearest-neighbor model. The algorithm has been tested on 360 GeneChips from publicly available data of recent expression experiments. The algorithm is fast and accurate. Strong correlations between the fitted values for different experiments as well as between the free-energy parameters and their counterparts in aqueous solution indicate that the model captures a significant part of the underlying physical chemistry.
