Generating galaxies with controlled morphologies using GANs.
The idea is to take a morphological feature and restrict the generation to that morphology. Below are some examples from two datasets. For each example, the row on the far left is a real image from a held out test set, and the remaining columns are the generated images. Each row corresponds to the same morphological feature.
We can explore the latent space by picking two random z vectors and two random attributes, then interpolating between the two. Then, simply pick another set of random vectors and interpolate again, and so on. Here, Gaussian interpolation was used as opposed to linear interpolation.
