      abstract     = {The matrix element method utilizes ab initio calculations
                      of probability densities as power- ful discriminants to
                      extract small signals from large backgrounds at hadron
                      collider exper- iments. The computational complexity of this
                      method for final states with many particles and degrees of
                      freedom sets it at a disadvantage compared to supervised
                      classification methods such as decision trees, k
                      nearest-neighbour, or neural networks. We will present a
                      concrete implementation of the matrix element technique in
                      the context of Higgs boson analysis at the LHC employing
                      graphics processing units. Due to the intrinsic paral-
                      lelizability of multidimensional phase space integration,
                      dramatic speedups can be readily achieved, which makes the
                      matrix element technique viable for general usage at
                      collider experiments.},
