Approximating neutron-star radii using gravitational-wave only measurements with symbolic regression

The paper presents a symbolic regression approach that derives an approximate expression for neutron‑star radii using only gravitational‑wave data from binary inspirals. By training on TOV solutions with piecewise polytropic equations of state, the authors obtain a formula that reproduces radii with differences of only a few hundred meters across a wide range of neutron‑star parameters. The method is validated on realistic dense‑matter EOSs and applied to the GW170817 event, comparing the inferred radii to existing distributions.

Deep Learning Detection of Beyond-General-Relativity Deviations in Gravitational-Wave Signals: A Detection-Threshold Study with Real LIGO Noise

The paper investigates machine‑learning detection of controlled deviations from General Relativity in gravitational‑wave signals. Using a hybrid classifier that combines a one‑dimensional convolutional neural network with ten hand‑crafted waveform statistics, the authors train on General‑Relativistic and modified waveforms and test on a deviation type not seen during training. They find a detection threshold at a dimensionless strength coefficient β ≈ 0.25 when using real GW150914 strain and real H1 detector noise, with accuracy improving from chance at β ≤ 0.2 to perfect classification at β ≥ 0.5.

Improving the Sensitivity of Gravitational Wave Detection with Weighted Conformal Prediction

The paper proposes a weighted conformal prediction framework to combine outputs from multiple gravitational‑wave search pipelines, providing statistically rigorous confidence estimates for candidate events. By incorporating likelihood‑ratio reweighting, the method corrects for covariate shift between simulated training data and real observations, restoring well‑calibrated coverage. Experiments on mock datasets show that this approach improves sensitivity, especially near the detection threshold, enabling recovery of true signals that would otherwise be missed.

Introducing SINFONIA: Symplectic, slimplectic and Magnusian (Neural) Flows for Orbital Numerical Integration and Acceleration

The paper introduces SINFONIA, a family of neural‑flow architectures designed to learn structure‑preserving evolution maps for long‑duration gravitational‑wave modelling. Three variants—symplectic, slimplectic, and Magnusian—are trained on a 2.5PN neutron‑star inspiral and demonstrate that long‑time accuracy is governed by a single secular channel linked to energy–angular‑momentum balance, allowing accurate integration over up to $10^{5}$ orbital periods with far fewer computational steps than traditional integrators. The learned maps also enable physics inference, recovering un‑modelled dissipative forces from accumulated phase information.

Introducing SINFONIA: Symplectic, slimplectic and Magnusian (Neural) Flows for Orbital Numerical Integration and Acceleration

The paper introduces SINFONIA, a family of neural-flow architectures designed to learn finite-time evolution maps for orbital dynamics while preserving key physical structures. Three variants—symplectic/slimplectic, Taylor-anchored, and Magnusian—are applied to a 2.5PN neutron-star inspiral, demonstrating that long-term accuracy depends on a single secular channel tied to energy–angular-momentum balance rather than pointwise errors. These learned maps achieve accurate phase evolution over up to $10^{5}$ orbital periods at lower computational cost than traditional integrators, and can also be used to infer unmodeled forces from accumulated phase data.
