Researchers from Taiwan, especially from Institute of Astronomy, NTHU, have been deeply involved in multi-messenger transient searches accompanied by gravitational waves in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. This contribution is primarily done with running designated search pipelines such as Xpipeline to look for concomitant fast radio bursts and gamma-ray bursts with gravitational waves. There have been significant contributions from GW community in IoA, NTHU towards successful completion of these search runs during the O3b and O4a runs, and continue to support the search pipeline in O4b. In this presentation, I would highlight the major contributions alongside some of the results.
