This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences supports the development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems to optimize the search for gravitational wave events accompanied by electromagnetic radiation. The $160,476 award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund the creation of an AI agent that can adaptively learn to make optimal decisions for follow-up observations of these rare and fleeting cosmic events. This research addresses the goals of the NSF's Windows on the Universe Big Idea to advance our understanding of extreme objects in the universe. The project will also train students in the techniques required to develop similar AI systems for other domains. The award is funded under the CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, which aims to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise.
