• Abstract: Autonomous digital sky surveys such as Pan-STARRS have the ability to image a very large number of galactic and extra-galactic objects, and the large and complex nature of the image data reinforces the use of automation. Here we describe the design and implementation of a data analysis process for automatic broad morphology annotation of galaxies, and applied it to the data of Pan-STARRS DR1. The process is based on filters followed by a two-step convolutional neural network (CNN) classification. Training samples are generated by using an augmented and balanced set of manually classified galaxies. Results are evaluated for accuracy by comparison to the annotation of Pan-STARRS included in a previous broad morphology catalog of SDSS galaxies. Our analysis shows that a CNN combined with several filters is an effective approach for annotating the galaxies and removing unclean images. The catalog contains morphology labels for 1,662,190 galaxies with ~95% accuracy. The accuracy can be further improved by selecting labels above certain confidence thresholds. The catalog is publicly available.

  In cosmology, galaxy redshift surveys resemble such a permutation invariant collection of positions in space. We employ a textitPointNet-like neural network to regress the values of the cosmological parameters directly from point cloud data. Our implementation of PointNets can analyse inputs of $mathcalO(104) - mathcalO(105)$ galaxies at a time, which improves upon earlier work for this application by roughly two orders of magnitude.

Compared to traditional profile-fitting methods, we show that the uncertainties obtained using BNNs are comparable in magnitude, well-calibrated, and the point estimates of the parameters are closer to the true values.
