Gravitational wave astronomy is a vibrant field that leverages both classic and modern data processing techniques for the understanding of the universe. Various approaches have bee…
Detecting and Diagnosing Terrestrial Gravitational-Wave Mimics Through Feature Learning
Robert E. Colgan, Zsuzsa Márka, Jingkai Yan +3
As engineered systems grow in complexity, there is an increasing need for automatic methods that can detect, diagnose, and even correct transient anomalies that inevitably arise an…
Architectural Optimization and Feature Learning for High-Dimensional Time Series Datasets
Robert E. Colgan, Jingkai Yan, Zsuzsa Márka +3
As our ability to sense increases, we are experiencing a transition from data-poor problems, in which the central issue is a lack of relevant data, to data-rich problems, in which…
Generalized Approach to Matched Filtering using Neural Networks
Jingkai Yan, Mariam Avagyan, Robert E. Colgan +5
Gravitational wave science is a pioneering field with rapidly evolving data analysis methodology currently assimilating and inventing deep learning techniques. The bulk of the soph…
Efficient Gravitational-wave Glitch Identification from Environmental Data Through Machine Learning

We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wander…
Summary of Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1
Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel
We summarize the four tests of general relativity carried out using the ten binary black hole signals detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo and included in their first catal…
Tests of General Relativity with the Binary Black Hole Signals from the LIGO-Virgo Catalog GWTC-1
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1142
The detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo provides an opportunity to test general relativity in a regime that is inaccessible to traditional astronom…
Search for the isotropic stochastic background using data from Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1133
The stochastic gravitational-wave background is a superposition of sources that are either too weak or too numerous to detect individually. In this study we present the results fro…
Search for transient gravitational wave signals associated with magnetar bursts during Advanced LIGO's second observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We present the results of a search for short and intermediate-duration gravitational-wave signals from four magnetar bursts in Advanced LIGO's second observing run. We find no evid…
