• Abstract: Gravitational-wave denoising must handle the full diversity of spinning, precessing binaries, since the recovered waveform underpins parameter estimation, tests of general relativity, and population studies. Matched filtering achieves this at a cost that becomes prohibitive as next-generation detectors push event rates higher; deep learning offers real-time reconstruction, but current methods are developed on narrow parameter spaces, precluding principled comparison and reliable deployment. We present the first controlled comparison of five neural-network architectures for gravitational-wave denoising, trained identically across the full astrophysically-motivated spinning binary-black-hole parameter space. A unifying principle emerges: matching network structure to the spectral anatomy of a coalescence -- inspiral, merger, ringdown -- outperforms brute-force model scaling. Our Multi-Scale Frequency-Aware architecture embodies this via dedicated parallel branches per frequency regime, achieving the best fidelity while using fewer parameters than larger models. It generalizes from simulated training to real LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data without retraining, recovering merger morphology across confirmed events spanning three observing runs and both detectors, despite training on a single detector's simulated noise. We construct population-level uncertainty bands from denoising residuals, validate their calibration, and stress-test the framework on extended mass ratios and a spin population resembling hierarchical-merger remnants. Applied to real noise with no known signal, the network suppresses its output almost everywhere, with rare exceptions traced to noise transients rather than a general weakness -- indicating the statistic discriminates signal from noise and motivating a future detection study. Released weights give a deployable, reproducible benchmark for future extensions.

• Robust Training under Label Noise by Over-parameterization [41.03008228953627]
  We propose a principled approach for robust training of over-parameterized deep networks in classification tasks where a proportion of training labels are corrupted. The main idea is yet very simple: label noise is sparse and incoherent with the network learned from clean data, so we model the noise and learn to separate it from the data. Remarkably, when trained using such a simple method in practice, we demonstrate state-of-the-art test accuracy against label noise on a variety of real datasets.
