1 Application of machine learning in gravitational waves survey Filip Morawski NCAC PAS, VIRGO GPU DAY , Budapest, Hungary

2 Gravitational waves Source: LIGO Caltech Something special happens when two bodies orbit each other their movement cause ripples in a spacetime - like ripples in a pond after tossing a stone.

3 Propagation of GW They stretch and squeeze anything in their path but in a such a small scale that it is nearly impossible to detect them. Source: China Features

4 Detection principle: Laser interferometry Changes in arms length are very small ~ m (less than size of the proton). Wave amplitude is even Smaller ~ Source: virgo-gw.eu

5 Types of signals One time cataclysmic events mergers of binary systems (BHBH, NSNS, BHNS) Periodic phenomena rotating nonaxisymmetric neutron stars, wide binary systems (power of magnitudes weaker)

6 Evolution of binary system Source: Obtaining gravitational waves from inspiral binary systems using LIGO data; Antelis, J. et al. 2016

7 Current discoveries

8 Challenge

9 F-statistics Source:github.com/mbejger/polgraw-allsky.git

10 Why Machine Learning?

11 Sensitivity curve of Virgo Source: virgo-gw.eu Glitch transient noise event Time series signal of Binary Black Hole Source: Gabbard, H. et al., 2017

12 Motivation Promising tool in classification of complex patterns and weak signals It may be essential for the classification of periodic signals! Alternative for Fourier transform based methods Noise reduction of unknown sources

13 F-statistics candidates classification Convolutional neural networks search for patterns in 2D data (images) Data sets containing various SNRs and frequency of the signal (various number of points) Our own definition of SNR integrated over whole signal; increases both with width of time window and amplitude of the signal

14 Generated data SNR SNR SNR SNR 14

15 Convolutional neural network - Multi Instance Learning Common network source: deeplearning4j.com

16 Confusion matrix

17 Confusion matrix

18 Periodic signal classification Long-Short-Term-Memory network search for patterns in time series data Different types of periodicity of the signal

19 Generated data

20 Perdicted data Confusion matrix Noise Periodic Ampl. mod Freq. mod Noise Periodic Ampl. Mod Real data Freq. Mod

21 Perdicted data Confusion matrix Noise Periodic Ampl. mod Freq. mod Noise Periodic Ampl. Mod Real data Freq. Mod

22 Machine Learning proved to be promising method for signal classification! Both, in terms of pattern recognition and time-series analysis

23 Problems Performance of computing on CUDA 7 and Tensorflow 1.4 Parallel GPUs loss of accuracy; averaging after epochs

24 Horovod tests of noise reduction: bigger loss - worse White noise Parallel GPUs Prometheus Local Long Loc-Prom Prom-Loc loss Pink noise Single GPU, Mixed GPUs val_loss val_loss 0.18 Prometheus Local Long Loc-Prom Prom-Loc loss

25 Future... Overtraining issue for high frequency solved Merge LSTM and CNN in one MIL Test child algorithm Test models on multi GPU

26 Machine Learning proved to be promising method for signal classification! Both, in terms of pattern recognition and time-series analysis

27 Thank you for attention!
