Systematic biases when using deep neural networks for annotating large catalogs of astronomical images

S Dhar, L Shamir - Astronomy and Computing, 2022 - Elsevier
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have become the most common solution for
automatic image annotation due to their non-parametric nature, good performance, and their …

Using 3D and 2D analysis for analyzing large-scale asymmetry in galaxy spin directions
