Galaxy Morphology Classification
Sorting galaxies by their shape — spiral, elliptical, irregular, merging — from survey images. One of the earliest large-scale meetings of astronomy and machine learning, building on the labels gathered by citizen-science projects like Galaxy Zoo to train automatic classifiers for surveys too large to inspect by eye.
