In searching for continuous gravitational waves over very many ($\approx 10^{17}$) templates , clustering is a powerful tool which increases the search sensitivity by identifying and bundling together candidates that are due to the same root cause. We implement a deep learning network that identifies clusters of signal candidates in the output of continuous gravitational wave searches and assess its performance. For loud signals our network achieves a detection efficiency higher than 97\% with…

The DNN performance is not adversely affected by gaps in the test data or by using a relatively undisturbed band of LigO detector data instead of Gaussian noise, but when using a more disturbed LIGO band for the tests, the DNN's detection performance is substantially degraded due to the increase in false alarms.
