Creating a more general deep learning algorithm for galaxies
A team was able to use deep learning algorithms to analyze a massive galaxy survey. Can the same algorithm be used on an entirely new survey?

Finding circumstellar disks in the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer data is a tough job, but fortunately our brains are even better suited to the task than computers! You can help by lending your pattern-recognition skills to Disk Detective, the Zooniverse’s newest citizen science project.
Kevin Schawinski of Yale University, co-founder of the Galaxy Zoo project, explains how to use crowd sourcing to make sense of enormous data sets.
