How to trust learned loop amplitudes

Higher-order theory predictions are crucial for the precision LHC program, but the time-consuming amplitude evaluation challenges the corresponding Monte-Carlo simulations. Machine-learned amplitude surrogates can resolve this problem, if we can guarantee their precision over the entire phase space. First, we show that our surrogates provide a calibrated learned uncertainty, even for non-Gaussian systematics; second, we describe how less accurate phase space regions can be identified; third, we demonstrate how the precision in these regions can be improved reliably.
