Thought I was going to have to take up crocheting. Was fiending for my #gravityspy #activeasteroids #backyardworlds THANK YOU!!
We hope that the new #GravitySpy tools will both hope us identify new glitches (especially important after detector upgrades, when things might have changed), and also enable citizen scientists to take ownership of their own investigations
We've implemented #GravitySpy tools which enables citizen scientists to search for similar looking glitches from @the_zooniverse blog.gravityspy.org/2018/10/19/introducing-g... Using these they can create a collection of a new glitch, and retrain the neural...
#GravitySpy asks citizen scientists to classify gravitational-wave detector glitches. These results are used to train a machine learning algorithm. But how do we add new, previously identified glitches? These can be rare, so finding a training set can be hard
New #HumansofLIGO quote from Oli Patane, an undergraduate at Cal State Fullerton who works on #GravitySpy! Oli also wanted me to mention the importance to them of supporting transgender and queer folks in science. I second that! See Oli's quote...
