• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel neural-network based machine learning algorithm that uses time series strain data from gravitational-wave detectors. We find an improvement by a factor of 6 in sensitivity to signals with signal-to-noise ratio below 25. A conservative estimate indicates that our algorithm introduces on average 10.2 s of latency between signal arrival and generating an alert.

• Abstract: As two neutron stars merge, they emit gravitational waves that can potentially be detected by earth bound detectors. Matched-filtering based algorithms have traditionally been used to extract quiet signals embedded in noise. We introduce a novel neural-network based machine learning algorithm that uses time series strain data from gravitational-wave detectors to detect signals from non-spinning binary neutron star mergers. For the Advanced LIGO design sensitivity, our network has an average sensitive distance of 130 Mpc at a false-alarm rate of 10 per month. Compared to other state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, we find an improvement by a factor of 6 in sensitivity to signals with signal-to-noise ratio below 25. However, this approach is not yet competitive with traditional matched-filtering based methods. A conservative estimate indicates that our algorithm introduces on average 10.2 s of latency between signal arrival and generating an alert. We give an exact description of our testing procedure, which can not only be applied to machine learning based algorithms but all other search algorithms as well. We thereby improve the ability to compare machine learning and classical searches.

  We present the results of the first Machine Learning Gravitational-Wave Search Mock Data Challenge (MLGWSC-1). For this challenge, participating groups had to identify gravitational-wave signals from binary black hole mergers of increasing complexity and duration embedded in progressively more realistic noise. Our results show that current machine learning search algorithms may already be sensitive enough in limited parameter regions to be useful for some production settings.

  We propose the application of a quantum algorithm for the detection of unknown signals in noisy data. In comparison to the classical method, this provides a speed-up proportional to the square-root of the number of templates. We demonstrate both a proof-of-principle quantum circuit implementation, and a simulation of the algorithm's application to the detection of the first gravitational wave signal GW150914.
