UK researchers are teaching computers to see and label galaxies using unsupervised machine learning. The group from the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, presents a novel unsupervised learning approach to automatically segment and label images in astronomical surveys. Automation of this procedure will be essential as next-generation surveys enter the petabyte scale: data volumes will exceed…
