Jet flavor tagging is still a major challenge in the search for the Higgs Boson decay into charm quarks. Although, there are several machine learning approaches for distinguishing between c-, b-, and light-flavor jets, for multi-pronged jets, many of them neglect crucial information on the correlations between the jets that can substantially enhance the reconstruction efficiencies of signal events containing heavy-flavor jets. Therefore, we introduce a new approach of jet-based event reconstruction that aims to optimally exploit correlations between the products of a hadronic multi-pronged decay across all Lorentz boost regimes. The new approach utilizes clustered small-radius jets as seeds to define unconventional jets, referred to as PAIReD jets. This results in light-flavor jet rejections at low Lorentz boosts that exceed conventional strategies, while maintaining similar rejection rates for high Lorentz-boost regimes based on large-radius multipronged jet classifiers.
