• Abstract: Machine learning techniques have been increasingly used in astronomical applications and have proven to successfully classify objects in image data with high accuracy. The current work uses archival data from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimeters (FIRST) to classify radio galaxies into four classes: Fanaroff-Riley Class I (FRI), Fanaroff-Riley Class II (FRII), Bent-Tailed (BENT), and Compact (COMPT). The model presented in this work is based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The proposed architecture comprises three parallel blocks of convolutional layers combined and processed for final classification by two feed-forward layers. Our model classified selected classes of radio galaxy sources on an independent testing subset with an average of 96\% for precision, recall, and F1 score. The best selected augmentation techniques were rotations, horizontal or vertical flips, and increase of brightness. Shifts, zoom and decrease of brightness worsened the performance of the model. The current results show that model developed in this work is able to identify different morphological classes of radio galaxies with a high efficiency and performance

  We study the dependence of the GAN-based augmentation performance on dataset size with a focus on small samples. We train StyleGAN2-ADA with both sets and then, after validating the quality of generated images, we use trained GANs as one of the augmentations approaches in multi-class classification problems. The GAN-based augmentation approach is found to be comparable with classical augmentation in the case of medium and large datasets but underperforms in the case of smaller datasets.

  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.
