arXiv:2512.02968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gravitational-wave data analysis relies on accurate and efficient methods to extract physical information from noisy detector signals, yet the increasing rate and complexity of observations represent a growing challenge. Deep learning provides a powerful alternative to traditional inference, but existing neural models typically lack the flexibility to handle variations in data analysis settings. Such variations accommodate imperfect observations or are required for specialized tests, and could include changes in detector configurations,
The increasing rate and complexity of gravitational-wave observations necessitate more sophisticated and flexible data analysis methods, which deep learning, particularly Transformers, can now offer.
This development allows for more accurate and efficient extraction of physical information from complex astronomical data, accelerating new discoveries and refining our understanding of the universe.
Traditional gravitational-wave data analysis, which often struggles with variations in observation settings, can now be augmented or replaced by more adaptable deep learning models, improving discovery potential.
