MADGRAV demonstrates the efficacy of deep learning anomaly detection pipelines in identifying high-mass gravitational wave signals from LIGO data, achieving a recovery rate that increases significantly for sources above 100 solar masses. By utilizing sequential convolutional neural networks for glitch classification and signal ranking, this approach offers a robust complementary channel to traditional matched filtering techniques, particularly valuable in the high-SNR regime where model-independent detection is critical.
MADGRAV: a multilevel anomaly-detection pipeline for gravitational-wave searches applied to LIGO data
arXiv:2609.39583v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present the results of \textbf{MADGRAV}, a deep-learning-based search for high-mass compact binary coalescences, applied to the data collected by the LIGO interferometers during the third observing run and during the first and second part of the fourth observing run. The \textbf{MADGRAV} pipeline consists of a series of sequential convolutional neural networks that perform anomaly detection, glitch classification, coherence testing, and signal ranking. Data from the Hanford and Livingston LIGO detectors are studied (both individually and in coherence) by way of 1 second Q-transform windows. Of the candidates that survive every stage of the pipeline, 48 reach the significance threshold, and we report 47 gravitational wave detections characterised by a false alarm rate below $1\,{\rm yr}^{-1}$ with a probability of astrophysical origin $p_{\rm astro}>0.9$. Of the 47 detections, 44 are shared with the minimally modelled coherent WaveBurst search. The observed total source-frame masses, extracted from official gravitational wave transient catalogues, are in the $14-236 M_{\odot}$ range with a median of $69 M_{\odot}$, and a median SNR of 16. We note that the recovered fraction of confident detections rises with mass: for LIGO detectors network SNR $>10$ the pipeline recovers $8.1\%$ of confident catalog events below $30 M_{\odot}$, $39.8\%$ between $30$ and $100 M_{\odot}$, and $53.3\%$ above $100 M_{\odot}$, corresponding to $33.3\%$, $45.5\%$ and $53.3\%$ of the events detected by coherent WaveBurst in the same bins. These results suggest that anomaly detection pipelines can serve as an independent detection channel complementary to matched filtering in the high-mass high-SNR regime.
