Abstract

In the coming decades, we will face major computational challenges, when the improved sensitivity of third-generation gravitational wave detectors will be such that they will be able to detect a high number (of the order of 7 × 10<sup>4</sup> per year) of multi-messenger events from binary neutron star mergers, similar to GW 170817. In this Perspective, we discuss the application of multimodal artificial intelligence techniques for multi-messenger astrophysics, fusing the information from different signal emissions.
