Gabbard et al.have demonstrated that convolutional neural networks can achieve the sensitivity of matched filtering in the recognization of the gravitational-wave signals with high efficiency [Phys.Rev.Lett.120,141103 (2018)].In this work we show that their model can be optimized for better accuracy.The convolutional neural networks typically have altating convolutional layers and max pooling layers,followed by a small number of fully connected layers.We increase the stride in the max pooling layer by 1,followed by a dropout layer to alleviate overfitting in the original model.We find that these optimizations can effectively increase the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for various tests on the same dataset.
