Description
The formation mechanism of supermassive black holes is yet unknown, despite their presence in nearly every galaxy, including the Milky Way. As stellar evolution predicts that stars cannot collapse to black holes
In this work, we enhance a matched filtering algorithm using Machine Learning. In particular, we employ a multi-layer perceptron network that targets IMBHs, distinguishing them from glitches in real single-detector data from the third observing run. Our algorithm successfully recovers over
