• Abstract summary: In this paper, we explore the task of radio galaxy classification based on morphology using deep learning methods. We apply few-shot learning techniques based on Twin Networks and transfer learning techniques using a pre-trained DenseNet model. We achieve a classification accuracy of over 92% using our best performing model with the biggest source of confusion being between Bent and FRII type galaxies.

• Abstract: The continuum emission from radio galaxies can be generally classified into different morphological classes such as FRI, FRII, Bent, or Compact. In this paper, we explore the task of radio galaxy classification based on morphology using deep learning methods with a focus on using a small scale dataset ($\sim 2000$ samples). We apply few-shot learning techniques based on Twin Networks and transfer learning techniques using a pre-trained DenseNet model with advanced techniques like cyclical learning rate and discriminative learning to train the model rapidly. We achieve a classification accuracy of over 92\% using our best performing model with the biggest source of confusion being between Bent and FRII type galaxies. Our results show that focusing on a small but curated dataset along with the use of best practices to train the neural network can lead to good results. Automated classification techniques will be crucial for upcoming surveys with next generation radio telescopes which are expected to detect hundreds of thousands of new radio galaxies in the near future.

  D2NWG is a diffusion-based neural network weights generation technique that efficiently produces high-performing weights for transfer learning. Our method extends generative hyper-representation learning to recast the latent diffusion paradigm for neural network weights generation. Our approach is scalable to large architectures such as large language models (LLMs), overcoming the limitations of current parameter generation techniques.

  Out of the estimated few trillion galaxies, only around a million have been detected through radio frequencies. We employ a semi-supervised learning approach to classify them into the known Fanaroff-Riley Type I (FRI) and Type II (FRII) categories. A Group Equivariant Convolutional Neural Network (G-CNN) was used as an encoder of the state-of-the-art self-supervised methods SimCLR and BYOL.

We show that the addition of each domain adaptation technique improves the performance of a classifier when compared to conventional deep learning algorithms. We demonstrate this on two examples: between two Illustris-1 simulated datasets of distant merging galaxies, and between Illustris-1 simulated data of nearby merging galaxies and observed data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
