The smartpixels project has shown using simulation [1] that we can reject clusters from low-pT tracks using the cluster shape and ML in the readout ASIC. Other work is underway to test regression algorithms that would output track angles instead of (or in addition to) pixel hits, and explore low-power analog algorithms. The algorithm development, ASIC development, and simulation work is being mostly funded through money dedicated to AI/ML and/or ASICs. We would like to build a demonstrator by hybridizing an ASIC with a pixel sensor of the appropriate size and pitch and measuring the angular resolution of these devices, but it will require separate funding.
