Using Deep Learning to Hunt Optical Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Events

Explore how deep learning techniques aid in the search for optical counterparts to gravitational wave events detected by LIGO-Virgo in this conference talk. Delve into the challenges of detecting optical counterparts and learn about the AI methods developed for the TOROS telescope network. Discover the application of deep learning for detecting faint signals in image subtraction and the potential use of reinforcement learning for telescope scheduling. Gain insights from Dr. Adam Zadrożny, an astrophysicist involved in the first detection of gravitational waves, as he discusses the importance of combining gravitational wave data with electromagnetic observations to enhance our understanding of cosmic events.
