Empirical Inference News 06-03-2025 Neural network deciphers gravitational waves from merging neutron stars in a second Machine learning method could revolutionize multi-messenger astronomy Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. In a study to be published in Nature on March 5, 2025, an interdisciplinary team of researchers presents a novel machine learning method that can analyze gravitational waves emitted by neutron star collisions almost instantaneously – even before the merger is fully observed. A neural network processes the data and enables a fast search for visible light and other electromagnetic signals emitted during the collisions. This new method could be instrumental in preparing the field for the next generation of observatories. Maximilian Dax Bernhard Schölkopf Jakob Macke

Learning and Dynamical Systems Embodied Vision Empirical Inference News 06-10-2023 Roboter entdecken die Welt Forschende vermitteln Robotern eine Art Körpergefühl Roboter können den Menschen heute bereits bei manchen alltäglichen Aufgaben unterstützen. Doch unbekannte Umgebungen oder auch kleine Abweichungen in den Aufgaben, auf die sie trainiert sind, überfordern sie. Damit sie rascher lernen, sich auf Neues einzustellen, entwickeln die Forschungsgruppen von Michael Mühlebach und Jörg Stückler am Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme in Tübingen neue Trainingsmethoden für die Maschinen. Ihre Roboter müssen sich dabei auch im Pingpong oder Bodyflying bewähren. Michael Muehlebach Jörg Stückler Dieter Büchler Hao Ma

Empirical Inference News 27-04-2023 Mit doppeltem Boden: Tiefes neuronales Netz für die Analyse verschmelzender schwarzer Löcher Selbstkontrollierter Algorithmus interpretiert Gravitationswellendaten Ein interdisziplinäres Team des Max-Planck-Instituts für Intelligente Systeme und des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gravitationsphysik hat einen Algorithmus entwickelt, der seine eigenen Berechnungen der Eigenschaften verschmelzender schwarzer Löcher umgehend überprüft und sein Resultat gegebenenfalls korrigiert – kostengünstig und zeitnah. Die Machine Learning Methode liefert dabei sehr genaue Informationen über die gemessenen Gravitationswellen und kann eingesetzt werden, wenn das weltweite Netzwerk der Gravitationswellen-Detektoren im Mai die nächste Messkampagne beginnt.
