FALCON - optimize fast detector simulation package and multi-objective regression

Description

Falcon is an ultra-fast non-parametric detector simulation package that automatically abstracts detector response, usually done by hand in fast-simulators used by particle physics experiments. Falcon uses KDTrees to build a fast lookup table to map events at the parton shower level to events at the reconstruction level as described in the following paper.

The goal of this project is to optimize the structure of the code by using the latest available classes in ROOT. Additionally, the goal is to integrate multi-target regression capability into Falcon.
