IPython/Jupyter Notebooks

How to generate SDSS cutout images: This notebook demonstrates how to generate cutout images from the SDSS database. Note: For demonstration and testing purposes only. For creating a training set, use scripts/fetch_sdss.py.

Training ConvNets: This notebook demonstrates the ConvNet architecture with a sample training set of 100 images. For demonstration and testing purposes only. In the paper, we used a much larger training set. See scripts/train_cnn.py.

Dockerfile

The Dockerfile for the Jupyter notebook server that has been used to run the notebooks is provided in the docker directory.
