Galaxy classification: A machine learning analysis of GAMA catalogue data
We present a machine learning analysis of five labelled galaxy catalogues from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The SersicCatVIKING and SersicCatUKIDSS catalogues containing morphological features, the GaussFitSimple catalogue containing spectroscopic features, the MagPhys catalogue including physical parameters for galaxies, and the Lambdar catalogue, which contains photometric measurements. Extending work previously presented at the ESANN 2018 conference - in an analysis based on Generalized Relevance Matrix Learning Vector Quantization and Random Forests - we find that neither the data from the individual catalogues nor a combined dataset based on all 5 catalogues fully supports the visual-inspection-based galaxy classification scheme employed to categorise the galaxies. In particular, only one class, the Little Blue Spheroids, is consistently separable from the other classes. To aid further insight into the nature of the employed visual-based classification scheme with respect to physical and morphological features, we present the galaxy parameters that are discriminative for the achieved class distinctions.

Galaxy Zoo: Probabilistic Morphology through Bayesian CNNs and Active Learning
We use Bayesian convolutional neural networks and a novel generative model of Galaxy Zoo volunteer responses to infer posteriors for the visual morphology of galaxies. Bayesian CNN can learn from galaxy images with uncer…
Active LearningLearning cosmology and clustering with cosmic graphs
We train deep learning models on thousands of galaxy catalogues from the state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of the CAMELS project to perform regression and inference. We employ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), archit…
