The use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques in the field of Physical Sciences has gained growing attention in recent years due to its potential to accelerate scientific discovery. In particular, Computational High Energy Physics (HEP) presents distinctive challenges to Data Science (DS), from methodology design to deployment of solutions, when searching for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this thesis, we address key bottlenecks in HEP by leveraging the knowledge and practices accumulated from decades of Data Science (DS) end-to-end research. We provide practical solutions to contemporary HEP issues, emphasizing re-usability, with potential for mainstream deployments at scale in the ATLAS Experiment.In the first project, we develop scalable cyberinfrastructure that integrates pre-existing ML techniques into a standard analysis pipeline for new physics searches. The outcome is a distributed workflow that is containerized, parametrized, with a shallow learning curve, and reproducible. Experiments to test the scalability limits of this approach were performed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). The processing time for 11 million collision samples was reduced from days to 5 hours.In the second project, we address the curse of dimensionality in producing confidence limit contours for hypothesis testing of new physics theories. We use the Active Learning framework and low-fidelity data to train a Multitask Gaussian Process (GP) to intelligently evaluate the high-fidelity hypothesis testing pipeline only in regions of interest. This approach leads to the production of 4D contours, an improvement compared to traditional 1-2D contours. The study is performed in real-world settings without approximations, as reviewed by the ATLAS Experiment.Finally, we conclude with a discussion on the interplay between Data Science and High Energy Physics, focusing on leveraging domain knowledge in a general way, producing long-lasting results for the community to build upon, and systematically exploiting past results beyond benchmarking studies.
