🌊 Introduction

Welcome to the Ultralytics WAVE repository – the cutting-edge solution for the machine learning driven analysis and interpretation of waveform data in particle physics! 🎉

Here, we introduce WAveform Vector Exploitation (WAVE), a novel approach that uses Deep Learning to readout and reconstruct signals from particle physics detectors. This repository contains our open-source codebase and aims to foster collaboration and innovation in this exciting intersection of ML and physics.

🚀 Project Objectives

The primary goal of this project is to develop and share Machine Learning techniques that can be applied to full-waveform time-of-flight detectors. These advanced methods are designed to enhance signal processing and interpretation, thereby pushing the boundaries of what's possible in particle physics research.

🌟 Key Features

• Implementation of WAVE using PyTorch and TensorFlow.
• Codebase designed for ease of use and adaptability.
• Support for running WAVE on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Sample images illustrating waveform analysis.

🔧 Requirements

Before you dive into waveform vector exploitation with our WAVE code, make sure your machine is set up with the following:

• Python 3.7 or later, plus these packages installed with pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt:
  • numpy
  • scipy
  • torch (version 0.4.0 or later)
  • tensorflow (version 1.8.0 or later)
  • plotly (optional, for visualization)

🏃 Run Instructions

You can run the WAVE models using the following scripts:

• To use our PyTorch implementation, run wave_pytorch.py.
• For TensorFlow users, you can run wave_tf.py.
• If you're looking to deploy on Google Cloud Platform, explore gcp/wave_pytorch_gcp.py.
