With the advent of gravitational-wave astronomy and the discovery of more compact binary coalescences, data quality improvement techniques are desired to handle the complex and overwhelming noise in gravitational wave (GW) observational data. Though recent machine learning-based studies have shown promising results for data denoising, they are unable to precisely recover both the GW signal amplitude and phase. To address such an issue, we develop a deep neural network centered workflow, WaveFormer, for significant noise suppression and signal recovery on observational data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). The WaveFormer has a science-driven architecture design with hierarchical feature extraction across a broad frequency spectrum. As a result, the overall noise and glitch are decreased by more than one order of magnitude and the signal recovery error is roughly 1% and 7% for the phase and amplitude, respectively. Moreover, on 75 reported binary black hole (BBH) events of LIGO we obtain a significant improvement of inverse false alarm rate. Our work highlights the potential of large neural networks in gravitational wave data analysis and, while primarily demonstrated on LIGO data, its adaptable design indicates promise for broader application within the International Gravitational-Wave Observatories Network (IGWN) in future observational runs.

  1. Identifying lensed gravitational waves with physics-informed posterior learning

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Fusing a simulation-trained common-source mass posterior with waveform features raises lensed-event detection efficiency from 20.8% to 35.2% at 1% false-positive rate and lowers the SNR for 50% efficiency from 45.3 to 33.5.

  2. Parameter inference of millilensed gravitational waves using neural spline flows

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Neural spline flows perform fast posterior inference on 11-dimensional millilensed GW parameters with accuracy comparable to dynesty for most quantities and a 3-day to 0.8-second speedup.

  3. Manifold Learning for Source Separation in Confusion-Limited Gravitational-Wave Data

    physics.gen-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A CNN autoencoder plus manifold normalization in latent space detects injected sources in synthetic LISA confusion data with AUC 0.752, precision 0.81 and recall 0.61, a 35% gain over autoencoder error alone.

  4. Manifold Learning for Source Separation in Confusion-Limited Gravitational-Wave Data

    physics.gen-ph 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0

    A CNN autoencoder plus an off-manifold distance penalty is reported to improve detection of resolvable LISA sources in confusion-limited synthetic data (AUC 0.75 vs 0.56), but the weights were tuned on the test set.
