PyTorch Datasets and PyTorch Lightning Datamodules for loading images and labels from Galaxy Zoo citizen science campaigns.

Any datasets marked as downloadable but not marked as published are only downloadable internally (for development purposes).

If a dataset is published but not marked as downloadable (none currently), it means I haven't yet got around to making the download automatic. You can still download it via the paper instructions.

You may also be interested in [Galaxy MNIST](https://github.com/mwalmsley/galaxy_mnist) as a simple dataset for teaching/debugging.

For each dataset, you must cite/acknowledge the GZ data release paper and the original telescope survey from which the images were derived. See [data.galaxyzoo.org](data.galaxyzoo.org) for the data release paper citations to use.

*CFHT Tidal is not a Galaxy Zoo dataset, but rather a small expert-labelled dataset of tidal features from [Atkinson 2013](https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637X/765/1/28).
MW reproduced and modified the images in [Walmsley 2019](https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty3232).
We include it here as a challenging fine-grained morphology classification task with little labelled data.

### Installation

For local development (e.g. adding a new dataset), you can install this by cloning from github, then running `pip install -e .` in the cloned repo root. 

It will also be installed by default as a dependency of `zoobot` if you specify the pytorch version of `zoobot` - but this is slightly trickier if you'd like to make changes as it'll be installed under your `sitepackages`.

### Usage

You can load each prepared dataset as a pytorch Dataset like so:

    from pytorch_galaxy_datasets.prepared_datasets import GZ2Dataset

    gz2_dataset = GZ2Dataset(
        root='/nvme1/scratch/walml/repos/pytorch-galaxy-datasets/roots/gz2',
        train=True,
        download=False
    )
    image, label = gz2_dataset[0]
    plt.imshow(image)

You will probably want to customise the dataset, selecting a subset of galaxies or labels. Do this with the `{dataset}_setup()` methods.

    from pytorch_galaxy_datasets.prepared_datasets import gz2_setup

    catalog, label_cols = gz2_setup(
        root='/nvme1/scratch/walml/repos/pytorch-galaxy-datasets/roots/gz2',
        train=True,
        download=False
    )
    adjusted_catalog = gz2_catalog.sample(1000)

You can then customise the catalog and labels before creating a generic GalaxyDataset, which can be used with your own transforms etc. like any other pytorch dataset

    from pytorch_galaxy_datasets.galaxy_dataset import GalaxyDataset

    dataset = GalaxyDataset(
        label_cols=['smooth-or-featured_smooth'],
        catalog=adjusted_catalog,
        transforms=some_torchvision_transforms_if_you_like
    )

For training models, I recommend using Pytorch Lightning and GalaxyDataModule, which has default transforms for supervised learning.

    from pytorch_galaxy_datasets.galaxy_datamodule import GalaxyDataModule

    datamodule = GalaxyDataModule(
        label_cols=['smooth-or-featured_smooth'],
        catalog=adjusted_catalog
    )

    datamodule.prepare_data()
    datamodule.setup()
    for images, labels in datamodule.train_dataloader():
        print(images.shape, labels.shape)
        break

You can also get the canonical catalog and label_cols from the Dataset, if you prefer.

    gz2_catalog = gz2_dataset.catalog
    gz2_label_cols = gz2_dataset.label_cols

### Download Notes

Datasets are downloaded like:

- {root}
    - images
        - subfolder (except GZ2)
            - image.jpg
    - {catalog_name(s)}.parquet
