Description
All gravitational wave detections thus far have been from binary compact object coalescences. These detections rely on analyses that exploit the well-modelled nature of the sources. Generic-transient (burst) gravitational waves, on the other hand, do not have well-modelled gravitational wave signals. Therefore, searches for burst gravitational waves must efficiently scan a broad parameter space while minimising the impact of spurious transient noise. We investigate the application of a transformer-based anomaly detection scheme, TranAD, to burst gravitational wave searches. We characterise the performance of TranAD and demonstrate that this approach is a promising for discovering new types of gravitational wave signals.
