"What are gravitational waves and how was it possible to reveal them? Why are they so important for astrophysics? How can artificial intelligence be useful in this field of research?
These are some of the questions to which I will try to give an answer in my presentation. The gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein in 1916, were revealed for the first time directly on September 14, 2015 by the LIGO detectors and the LIGO/Virgo collaboration. The analysis of the data produced by the gravitational wave detectors, requires an accurate understanding of the noise, which affects them. Artificial intelligence methods can be of great help in recognizing and classifying the patterns that characterize the detector noise."
