Was also pretty standard for CDF + DZero papers that came out before the LHC turned on. https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7214 - The original ATLAS Higgs discovery paper uses neural nets to identify photons. It also uses a neural net b-tagger to improve the H-&gt;WW signal to noise ratio. https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.0763 - used neural nets extra tt+jets noise https://arxiv.org/abs/1503.05066 - used neural nets for signal/background separation.</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1303.0763/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
