Description:

Effective field theories (EFTs) have recently advanced to become an essential language for formulating the LHC's legacy. Building on the standard model's (SM) particle content and symmetries, we can use EFTs to extract maximal information from various measurements and begin to address big questions on the smallest distance scales. A large number of parameters and the interplay of effects across various measurement channels in the top quark sector
favor machine-learning-assisted measurements that fully exploit the field's highly developed predictive models. I will discuss the latest measurements with top quarks and explain how we can improve future EFT measurements toward high dimensions.
