Description

Conventional searches for gravitational wave signals in detector data are computationally demanding and struggle when certain transient noise sources are present. Recently, machine-learning algorithms have been proposed to address current and future challenges. We present a neural-network based algorithm to search for binary black hole waveforms. We also apply our algorithm to real O3b data and recover the relevant events of the GWTC-3 catalog.
