Noise-dampening AI improves gravitational wave detection

LIGO Livingston in Louisiana, USA, where researchers detect gravitational waves. Credit: Caltech/MIT/LIGO Lab Experts at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Google DeepMind have trained an artificial intelligence program to dampen pesky background vibrations which drown out signals from the mergers of binary neutron stars and potential intermediate-mass black holes. “We were already at the forefront of innovation, …
