Guest: Re‑envisioning Galaxy Morphology with Sparse Autoencoders
Euclid is delivering millions of galaxy images, far too many for humans to classify by hand. A new approach uses sparse autoencoders to uncover the hidden morphological features inside deep learning models, revealing both familiar structures and entirely new ones.
