Discovery of Interpretable Surrogates via Agentic AI: Application to Gravitational Waves

Tousif Islam, Digvijay Wadekar, Tejaswi Venumadhav +4

Fast surrogate models for expensive simulations are now essential across the sciences, yet they typically operate as black boxes. We present \texttt{GWAgent}, a large language mode…

Searching for precessing binary systems with mode-by-mode filtering and marginalization

Zihan Zhou, Digvijay Wadekar, Javier Roulet +8

Nearly all previous binary black hole searches in LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave data have assumed that the component spins are aligned with the orbital angular moment…

Data-driven extraction and phenomenology of eccentric harmonics in eccentric spinning binary black hole mergers

Tousif Islam, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Ajit Kumar Mehta +6

Newtonian and post-Newtonian (PN) calculations indicate that the phenomenology of eccentric binary black hole (BBH) merger waveforms is significantly more complex than that of thei…

Binary black hole population inference combining confident and marginal events from the search pipeline

Ajit Kumar Mehta, Digvijay Wadekar, Isha Anantpurkar +6

We present the population properties of binary black hole mergers identified by the pipeline (which incorporates higher-order modes in the search templates) du…

Improving gravitational wave search sensitivity with TIER: Trigger Inference using Extended strain Representation

Digvijay Wadekar, Arush Pimpalkar, Mark Ho-Yeuk Cheung +9

We introduce a machine learning (ML) framework called for improving the sensitivity of gravitational wave search pipelines. Typically, search pipelines only use a s…

Sampler-free gravitational wave inference using matrix multiplication

Jonathan Mushkin, Javier Roulet, Barak Zackay +5

Parameter estimation (PE) for compact binary coalescence (CBC) events observed by gravitational wave (GW) laser interferometers is a core task in GW astrophysics. We present a meth…
