Particle identification is one of the core tasks in the data analysis pipeline at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Statistically, this entails the identification of rare signal events buried in immense backgrounds that mimic the properties of the former. In machine learning parlance, particle identification represents a classification problem characterized by overlapping and imbalanced classes. Boosted decision trees (BDTs) have had tremendous success in the particle identification domain but more recently have been overshadowed by deep learning (DNNs) approaches. This work proposes an algorithm to extract more out of standard boosted decision trees by targeting their main weakness, susceptibility to overfitting. This novel construction harnesses the meta-learning techniques of boosting and bagging simultaneously and performs remarkably well on the ATLAS Higgs (H) to tau-tau data set (ATLAS et al., 2014) which was the subject of the 2014 Higgs ML Challenge (Adam-Bourdarios et al., 2015). While the decay of Higgs to a pair of tau leptons was established in 2018 (CMS collaboration et al., 2017) at the 4.9$σ$ significance based on the 2016 data taking period, the 2014 public data set continues to serve as a benchmark data set to test the performance of supervised classification schemes. We show that the score achieved by the proposed algorithm is very close to the published winning score which leverages an ensemble of deep neural networks (DNNs). Although this paper focuses on a single application, it is expected that this simple and robust technique will find wider applications in high energy physics.
