Abstract
A search for the electroweak VBS production of a WV pair plus two jets, in the semi-leptonic
channel, at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is reported. The data sample corresponds to the full Run-II CMS
dataset of proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV including an integrated luminosity of 137.1 fb$^{-1}$. Events
are analyzed in two energy regimes: either the hadronically decaying W/Z boson is reconstructed as one
large-radius jet, or it is identified as a pair of jets with dijet mass near the W/Z mass. Machine learning
models are optimized for the signal extraction and the classifiers are interpreted using tools from the
explainable machine learning field. The overwhelming background contribution from the single W production
plus jets is measured in dedicated control regions implementing a data-driven strategy.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
