论文摘要
多年来,引力波天文学已经成为一个完善的研究领域。此外,在Ligo/Pirgo合作检测到2017年,在二进制中子星系发生碰撞期间发出的第一个引力波信号(伴随着同一事件的其他类型的信号),Multi-Messenger Astromenty伴随着其他类型的信号,因此更加明确地声称其权利。在这种情况下,在重力波实验中非常重要的是,具有快速机制来提醒潜在的引力波事件其他能够检测其他类型的信号(例如,在其他波长中)的观测值是同一事件产生的。在本文中,我们介绍了开发神经网络算法的第一个进展,该算法训练并表征了信号加噪声数据样本的重力波模式。我们已经实施了两个版本的算法,一种将重力波信号分类为2类,另一个根据发射源的质量比将其分为4个类。我们获得了有希望的结果,具有100%的2级网络培训和测试精度,4级网络的培训准确性约为95%。我们得出的结论是,当前版本的神经网络算法证明了配置良好且校准的双向长短术语记忆软件的能力,即使在非常短的时间内引力波信号,即使它们伴随着噪声,也可以非常高的精度进行分类。此外,使用该算法获得的性能将其作为数据分析的快速方法,可以用作引力波观测站(如未来LISA任务)的低延迟管道。
Gravitational wave astronomy has been already a well-established research domain for many years. Moreover, after the detection by LIGO/Virgo collaboration, in 2017, of the first gravitational wave signal emitted during the collision of a binary neutron star system, that was accompanied by the detection of other types of signals coming from the same event, multi-messenger astronomy has claimed its rights more assertively. In this context, it is of great importance in a gravitational wave experiment to have a rapid mechanism of alerting about potential gravitational waves events other observatories capable to detect other types of signals (e.g. in other wavelengths) that are produce by the same event. In this paper, we present the first progress in the development of a neural network algorithm trained to recognize and characterize gravitational wave patterns from signal plus noise data samples. We have implemented two versions of the algorithm, one that classifies the gravitational wave signals into 2 classes, and another one that classifies them into 4 classes, according to the mass ratio of the emitting source. We have obtained promising results, with 100% training and testing accuracy for the 2-class network and approximately 95% for the 4-class network. We conclude that the current version of the neural network algorithm demonstrates the ability of a well-configured and calibrated Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory software to classify with very high accuracy and in an extremely short time gravitational wave signals, even when they are accompanied by noise. Moreover, the performance obtained with this algorithm qualifies it as a fast method of data analysis and can be used as a low-latency pipeline for gravitational wave observatories like the future LISA Mission.
