Description
GW:UK@Nottingham is the first meeting of the GW:UK initiative (website). It will bring together researchers from across the UK involved in gravitational wave science to celebrate 10 years of gravitational wave discoveries (day 1) and to engage in community-building activities (day 2).
Due to the nature of this meeting, we will only offer in person participation. Some funding to cover accommodation and travel expenses for UK-based participants is available. There will be a number of slots available for contributed talks, including flash talks. We especially encourage early career researchers to apply for a slot.
To be considered for financial support and a contributed or flash
talk, please complete your registration by 16 December.
The meeting will be held in room B13 of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham.

Multifidelity Approach to Simulation-Based Inference in Gravitational-Wave Data Analysis
Simulation-based inference (SBI) is opening new possibilities in gravitational-wave data analysis, including the use of computationally expensive simulators to generate waveforms. When simulators are computationally expensive, generating sufficient training data becomes challenging. Multifidelity methods combine the accuracy of high-fidelity (expensive and accurate) models with the computational efficiency of low-fidelity (fast and less accurate) models. This transfer learning approach makes inference tractable even with limited simulation budgets, potentially enabling analyses that would otherwise require prohibitive computational resources.
