Smith42/astroPT_v2.0

astroPTv2.0: a Large Observation Model for Astronomy

Here we have the model files for the astroPT project, the code to run inference with these models is found here: https://github.com/smith42/astropt

You will find the fully trained models (pretrained on 8.6 million galaxies) in folders labelled with the model parameter count in the astropt directory.

Unlike the older models which were trained on the "image" column in smith42/galaxies, these models are trained on the "cropped" galaxies from the "image_crop" column. Those galaxies have been cropped and zoomed so that they take up the majority of each image before uploading.

We get some promising scaling on this new dataset, see below:

Usage

To use these models in anger you can pip install astropt and run the following code:

from astropt.model_utils import load_astropt
from astropt.local_datasets import GalaxyImageDataset

from datasets import load_dataset # for Smith42/galaxies

import torch
import numpy as np
from functools import partial
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from torchvision import transforms

# boilerplate to preprocess galaxy images
def normalise(x):
    std, mean = torch.std_mean(x, dim=1, keepdim=True)
    return (x - mean) / (std + 1e-8)

def data_transforms():
    return transforms.Compose([transforms.Lambda(normalise)])

def _process_galaxy_wrapper(idx, func):
    """This function ensures that the image is tokenised in the same way as the pre-trained model is expecting"""
    galaxy = func(
        torch.from_numpy(np.array(idx["image"]).swapaxes(0, 2)).to(float)
    ).to(torch.float)
    galaxy_positions = torch.arange(0, len(galaxy), dtype=torch.long)
    return {
        "images": galaxy,
        "images_positions": galaxy_positions,
    }

# for 095M parameter model, 015M and 850M models are also available:
model = load_astropt("Smith42/astroPT_v2.0", path="astropt/095M")

galproc = GalaxyImageDataset(
  None,
  spiral=True,
  transform={"images": data_transforms()},
  modality_registry=model.modality_registry
)

ds = (
  load_dataset("Smith42/galaxies", split="test", revision="v2.0", streaming=True)
  .select_columns("image")
  .map(partial(_process_galaxy_wrapper, func=galproc.process_galaxy))
  .with_format("torch")
)

dl = iter(DataLoader(ds, batch_size=128, num_workers=32))

zs = []
for B in dl:
    zs.append(model.generate_embeddings(B)["images"].detach().numpy())
zs = np.concatenate(zs)

# do cool stuff with zs...
