Comparison between background (left) and detection efficiency (right) for single detector case analysis and for L1H1 detector network. The background for L1H1 network is estimated using time-shifted data allowing to reach lower False Alarm Rate (FAR). Also, the consistency tests are not possible to perform in case of H1H1 network. On the other hand, the detection efficiencies in one and two detector analysis are comparable.
Specificity (left panel) and FNR (right panel) for the testing dataset with Dimmelmeier injected waveforms at 3.16 kpc. The histograms represent the results for 200 runs.
Percentage of runs that correctly identify glitches (true negatives, left panel) and mistakenly identify signals (false negatives, right panel) as a function of the percentage of triggers for the testing dataset with Dimmelmeier injected waveforms at 3.16 kpc. Top panel: About 90% of the glitches are correctly identified by 95% or more of the runs. Bottom panel: Less than 1% of the signals are misclassified by 95% or more of the runs.
Plots of false negatives for the testing dataset with Dimmelmeier injected waveforms at 3.16 kpc. The dataset contains 1000 injections (red full circles) and 1000 noise triggers (blue full circles). Different panels show the distribution of the cWB parameters (ML features) across triggers with the bottom-right panel showing the trigger label. The x axis of the panels denotes the index of the trigger, the y axis gives the value of the corresponding cWB parameter. When a threshold for trigger identification of 60% on the number of runs is applied, 25 injections (2.5%) are misclassified (red empty circles).
Scatterplot of specificity versus FNR for datasets with Dimmelmeier waveforms injected at different distances (1.00, 1.78, 3.16 and 5.62 kpc). Each point represents a GP run (200 runs total for each dataset). Average values with standard deviations are also shown.

Based on the prior O1–O2 observing runs, about 30% of the data collected by Advanced LIGO and Virgo in the next observing runs are expected to be single-interferometer data, i.e. they will be collected at times when only one detector in the network is operating in observing mode. Searches for gravitational-wave signals from supernova events do not rely on matched filtering techniques because of the stochastic nature of the signals. If a Galactic supernova occurs during single-interferometer times, separation of its unmodelled gravitational-wave signal from noise will be even more difficult due to lack of coherence between detectors. We present a novel machine learning method to perform single-interferometer supernova searches based on the standard LIGO-Virgo coherent WaveBurst pipeline. We show that the method may be used to discriminate Galactic gravitational-wave supernova signals from noise transients, decrease the false alarm rate of the search, and improve the supernova detection reach of the detectors.

... Accelerated masses produce Gravitational Waves (GWs), which are disturbances or ripples in the curvature of spacetime that move as waves away from their source at the speed of light [6]. These cosmic ripples would move through space and time, bringing with them clues to the nature of gravity and information about their origins [26]. ...

... In this line of thought, several authors have proposed to benefit of the particularity of CCSN signal for detection [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and regression [31,32] tasks using Machine Learning (ML). ML has been successful in a variety of applications and it has emerged as a novel tool in the GW field (see [33] for a comprehensive review). ...
