# HEPML Resources

[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/89476450.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/89476450)
[![license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/iml-wg/HEP-ML-Resources.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

Listing of useful (mostly) public learning resources for machine learning applications in high energy physics (HEPML). Listings will be in reverse chronological order (like a CV).

> **N.B.:** This listing will almost certainly be biased towards work done by ATLAS scientists, as the maintainer is a member of ATLAS and so sees ATLAS work the most. However, this is not the desired case and [help to diversify this listing](#contributing) would be greatly appreciated.
