Learn to evaluate radio frequency interference (RFI) removal algorithms specifically designed for single pulse search applications in this 19-minute conference talk from the FTSky program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore the critical challenges of identifying and mitigating RFI contamination when searching for fast radio transients, including Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), rotating radio transients (RRATs), and other single-pulse phenomena. Discover methodologies for assessing the effectiveness of different RFI mitigation techniques, understand how various algorithms perform under different observational conditions, and examine the trade-offs between RFI removal efficiency and preservation of genuine astrophysical signals. Gain insights into the computational considerations and practical implementation challenges of RFI removal in real-time transient detection pipelines, and understand how proper RFI mitigation directly impacts the sensitivity and reliability of single pulse searches in modern radio astronomy surveys.
