## Abstract (arXiv)

In the framework of three-active-neutrino mixing, the charge parity phase, the neutrino mass ordering, and the octant of θ23 remain unknown. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, which aims to address these questions by measuring the oscillation patterns of nuμ/nue and barnuμ/barnue over a range of energies spanning the first and second oscillation maxima. DUNE far detector modules are based on liquid argon TPC (LArTPC) technology. A LArTPC offers excellent spatial resolution, high neutrino detection efficiency, and superb background rejection, while reconstruction in LArTPC is challenging. Deep learning methods, in particular, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have demonstrated success in classification problems such as particle identification in DUNE and other neutrino experiments. However, reconstruction of neutrino energy and final state particle momenta with deep learning methods is yet to be developed for a full AI-based reconstruction chain. To precisely reconstruct these kinematic characteristics of detected interactions at DUNE, we have developed and will present two CNN-based methods, 2-D and 3-D, for the reconstruction of final state particle direction and energy, as well as neutrino energy. Combining particle masses with the kinetic energy and the direction reconstructed by our work, the four-momentum of final state particles can be obtained. Our models show considerable improvements compared to the traditional methods for both scenarios.
