DESCRIPTION:What if we could make predictions for experimental measurement
 s at the Large Hadron Collider based entirely on first-principles theoreti
 cal calculations?  While this dream is hopelessly out of reach\, we do ha
 ve a growing catalog of precision calculations in quantum chromodynamics (
 QCD) as a well as increasingly accurate Monte Carlo generators.  In this 
 talk\, I show how to leverage ideas from information theory and machine le
 arning to merge these disparate QCD predictions into a unified theoretical
  prediction with associated uncertainties.  Our strategy highlights the i
 mportance of logarithmic moments\, which have not been previously studied 
 in the QCD literature\, either experimentally or theoretically.\n\nhttps:/
