This work investigates the problem of detecting gravitational wave (GW) events based on simulated damped sinusoid signals contaminated with white Gaussian noise. It is treated as a classification problem with one class for the interesting events. The proposed scheme consists of the following two successive steps: decomposing the data using a wavelet packet, representing the GW signal and noise using the derived decomposition coefficients; and determining the existence of any GW event using a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a logistic regression output layer. The characteristics of this work is its comprehensive investigations on CNN structure, detection window width, data resolution, wavelet packet decomposition and detection window overlap scheme. Extensive simulation experiments show excellent performances for reliable detection of signals with a range of GW model parameters and signal-to-noise ratios. While we use a simple waveform model in this study, we expect the method to be particularly valuable when the potential GW shapes are too complex to be characterized with a template bank.

We present a methodology for automated real-time analysis of a radio image data stream with the goal to find transient sources. Contrary to previous works, the transients we are interested in occur on a time-scale where dispersion starts to play a ro le, so we must search a higher-dimensional data space and yet work fast enough to keep up with the data stream in real time. The approach consists of five main steps: quality control, source detection, association, flux measurement, and physical parameter inference. We present parallelized methods based on convolutions and filters that can be accelerated on a GPU, allowing the pipeline to run in real-time. In the parameter inference step, we apply a convolutional neural network to dynamic spectra that were obtained from the preceding steps. It infers physical parameters, among which the dispersion measure of the transient candidate. Based on critical values of these parameters, an alert can be sent out and data will be saved for further investigation. Experimentally, the pipeline is applied to simulated data and images from AARTFAAC (Amsterdam Astron Radio Transients Facility And Analysis Centre), a transients facility based on the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). Results on simulated data show the efficacy of the pipeline, and from real data it discovered dispersed pulses. The current work targets transients on time scales that are longer than the fast transients of beam-formed search, but shorter than slow transients in which dispersion matters less. This fills a methodological gap that is relevant for the upcoming Square-Kilometer Array (SKA). Additionally, since real-time analysis can be performed, only data with promising detections can be saved to disk, providing a solution to the big-data problem that modern astronomy is dealing with.
We introduce the use of autoregressive normalizing flows for rapid likelihood-free inference of binary black hole system parameters from gravitational-wave data with deep neural networks. A normalizing flow is an invertible mapping on a sample space that can be used to induce a transformation from a simple probability distribution to a more complex one: if the simple distribution can be rapidly sampled and its density evaluated, then so can the complex distribution. Our first application to gravitational waves uses an autoregressive flow, conditioned on detector strain data, to map a multivariate standard normal distribution into the posterior distribution over system parameters. We train the model on artificial strain data consisting of IMRPhenomPv2 waveforms drawn from a five-parameter $(m_1, m_2, phi_0, t_c, d_L)$ prior and stationary Gaussian noise realizations with a fixed power spectral density. This gives performance comparable to current best deep-learning approaches to gravitational-wave parameter estimation. We then build a more powerful latent variable model by incorporating autoregressive flows within the variational autoencoder framework. This model has performance comparable to Markov chain Monte Carlo and, in particular, successfully models the multimodal $phi_0$ posterior. Finally, we train the autoregressive latent variable model on an expanded parameter space, including also aligned spins $(chi_{1z}, chi_{2z})$ and binary inclination $theta_{JN}$, and show that all parameters and degeneracies are well-recovered. In all cases, sampling is extremely fast, requiring less than two seconds to draw $10^4$ posterior samples.
We investigate the performance of modern convolutional neural networks (CNN) and a linear support vector machine (SVM) with respect to spatial contrast sensitivity. Specifically, we compare CNN sensitivity to that of a Bayesian ideal observer (IO) wi th the signal-known-exactly and noise known statistically. A ResNet-18 reaches optimal performance for harmonic patterns, as well as several classes of real world signals including faces. For these stimuli the CNN substantially outperforms the SVM. We further analyzed the case in which the signal might appear in one of multiple locations and found that CNN spatial sensitivity continues to match the IO. However, the CNN sensitivity was far below optimal at detecting certain complex texture patterns. These measurements show that CNNs can have very large performance differences when detecting the presence of spatial patterns. These differences may have a significant impact on the performance of an imaging system designed to detect low contrast spatial patterns.
In the preparation for ESAs Euclid mission and the large amount of data it will produce, we train deep convolutional neural networks on Euclid simulations classify solar system objects from other astronomical sources. Using transfer learning we are a ble to achieve a good performance despite our tiny dataset with as few as 7512 images. Our best model correctly identifies objects with a top accuracy of 94% and improves to 96% when Euclids dither information is included. The neural network misses ~50% of the slowest moving asteroids (v < 10 arcsec/h) but is otherwise able to correctly classify asteroids even down to 26 mag. We show that the same model also performs well at classifying stars, galaxies and cosmic rays, and could potentially be applied to distinguish all types of objects in the Euclid data and other large optical surveys.
We introduce a novel methodology for the operation of an early %warning alert system for gravitational waves. It is based on short convolutional neural networks. We focus on compact binary coalescences, for light, intermediate and heavy binary-neutro n-star systems. The signals are 1-dimensional time series $-$ the whitened time-strain $-$ injected in Gaussian noise built from the power-spectral density of the LIGO detectors at design sensitivity. We build short 1-dimensional convolutional neural networks to detect these types of events by training them on part of the early inspiral. We show that such networks are able to retrieve these signals from a small portion of the waveform.
