GNNs for Charged Particle Tracking

This repository holds the main python package for the GNN Tracking project. See the readme of the organization for an overview of the task. Detailed write-ups of our progress are available in arXiv:2309.16754 and arXiv:2312.03823. More resources are provided in the reading list here.

• 🔋 Batteries included: This repository implements a hole pipeline: from preprocessing to models, to the evaluation of the final performance metrics.
• ⚡ Built around pytorch lightning, our models are easy to train and to restore. By using hooks and callbacks, everything remains modular and maintainable.
• ✅ Tested: Most of the code is guaranteed to run

🔥 Installation

1. Install micromamba (installation instructions). Conda works as well, but will be slow to solve the environment, so it's not recommended.
2. Set up your environment with one of the environment/*.yml files (see the readme in that folder)
3. Run pip3 install -e '.[testing,dev]' from this directory.
4. Run pytest from this directory to check if everything worked
5. For development: Install pre-commit hooks: pre-commit install (from this directory)

A good place to get started are the demo notebooks. This package is versioned as .

🧰 Development guidelines

If you open a PR and pre-commit fails for formatting, commentpre-commit.ci autofix to trigger a fixup commit from pre-commit.

To skip the slowest tests with pytest, run pytest --no-slow.
