Currently, parameter estimation schemes in gravitational wave astronomy fall into one of two wildly divergent categories: matched filtering schemes which rely on resource-intensive numerical modeling of full (strong curvature) general relativity or deep learning neural networks which rely on black box model training. The situation is only slightly improved for source localization algorithms,...
