abstract = {A top priority of future collider programs is to measure
the value of the Higgs self-coupling λ. Through double
Higgs production (ZHH), this is possible by direct
measurement at lepton col-liders. However, both
reconstruction and analysis face challenges due to the high
number of jets, misclustering effects in the jet clustering
procedure and separation of the signal from irreducible
backgrounds (ZZH). In this thesis, approaches and solutions
for both are presented. First, a jet clustering algorithm
based on Graph Neural Networks and Spectral Clustering is
presented and shown to produce nearly identical as the
benchmark (Durham algorithm). Then, for the analysis,
multiple multivariate methods are explored, such as
likelihood-ratio testing with the Matrix-Element-Method and
direct classification using machine learning models
including transformers and Deep Sets. The best results give
a final average precision and AUROC for separating ZHH and
ZZH events correctly of $67\%$ and 0.78, respectively.},
