A new study published in the Astrophysical Journal this week describes how a team of researchers from all over the globe developed a deep learning system that can classify galaxies with superb accuracy. Using NVIDIA TITAN Xp GPUs and the cuDNN-accelerated Keras and Theano deep learning frameworks, the team, made up of researchers from institutions…
Yes, it is possible to classify galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope images with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). AI algorithms can be trained to recognize and classify different types of galaxies based on their visual characteristics, such as their shape, color, and texture. This can be done using machine learning techniques such as neural networks, which are designed to recognize patterns in large amounts of data.
In fact, the Hubble Space Telescope has been used in several studies to classify galaxies using AI. For example, in 2019, a team of astronomers used deep learning techniques to analyze Hubble images of galaxies and classify them into different categories based on their morphologies. The results of this study demonstrated the potential of AI in helping to automate the analysis of large datasets and improve our understanding of the universe.
