AI for Gravitational Waves Workshop

This workshop is on how AI and machine learning are reshaping gravitational wave science across four themes: Data Analysis (low-latency detection, parameter inference, transient searches, interpretability), GW Simulation (fast waveforms, surrogate modeling, differentiable simulation, uncertainty quantification), Real-Time Data Processing (streaming ML, scalable inference, GPU/FPGA acceleration, model compression), and Detector Operations (monitoring, noise hunting, data quality, predictive maintenance).

The programme features keynote talks from the LVK, ET, LISA, MMA, and PTA, bringing together ML researchers, GW astronomers, instrumentalists, and computing experts to surface shared challenges and collaboration opportunities ahead of the next observing runs and future missions.
