Description

The Universe’s radio sky is rich with transient phenomena, but conventional surveys often depend on classical filtering and dedispersion techniques, potentially overlooking novel signals. We present a pipeline that bypasses these traditional steps by streaming RF data directly from telescope digitizers into GPU-accelerated AI models, enabling real-time detection directly on raw spectrograms. This end-to-end AI workflow streamlines model training, curation, and deployment, achieving both high performance and scalability. By eliminating classical pre-processing, our approach has the potential to simplify development, enhance discovery, and facilitate scalability.
