The process is an essential channel to reveal the Higgs properties but has an irreducible background from the process, which produces a top quark pair in association with a b quark pair. Therefore, understanding the process is crucial for improving the sensitivity of a search for the process. To this end, when measuring the differential cross-section of the process, we need to distinguish the b-jets originated from top quark decays, and additional b-jets originated from gluon splitting. Since there are no simple identification rules, we adopt deep learning methods to learn from data to identify the additional b-jets from the events. Specifically, by exploiting the special structure of the event data, we propose several loss functions that can be minimized to directly increase the matching efficiency, the accuracy of identifying additional b-jets. We discuss the difference between our method and another deep learning-based approach based on binary classification arXiv:1910.14535 using synthetic data. We then verify that additional b-jets can be identified more accurately by increasing matching efficiency directly rather than the binary classification accuracy, using simulated event data in the lepton+jets channel from pp collision at = 13 TeV.
