New AI system classifies thousands of galaxies in just a few seconds

Scientists have developed an AI system that can classify tens of thousands of galaxies in a few seconds, a process that can take months to do manually. Up front: Astronomers classify galaxies by shape to understand how they form and evolve. But this can be a time-consuming job. The researchers used convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to hasten the task. Attend the tech festival of the year and get your super early bird ticket now!
