Abstract
The detection and analysis of gravitational waves (GW) has opened new windows on the universe in recent years. Our team has developed the GWSkyNet and GWSkyNet-Multi models, which are designed to operate with the limited data publicly available from the LIGO-Virgo collaboration. We employ a combination of neural networks and explainable AI techniques to predict the nature of the detected signals. The XAI part helps us understand the strengths and biases of our models.24 Oct 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 28 Oct 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
