Realistic galaxy simulation via score-based generative models

Official code for 'Realistic galaxy simulation via score-based generative models'. We use a score-based generative model to produce realistic galaxy images. This implementation is based off of Phil Wang's PyTorch version which is in turn transcribed from Jonathan Ho's official Tensorflow version here.

Below are some outputs from our model. Half of these galaxies are real and half are generated. Check out the paper for the answer key.

Downloading and preprocessing the datasets

Downloading the PROBES dataset is straightforward:

  1. cd data/probes/ && mkdir raws gals
  2. bash get_probes.sh
  3. python preprocess.py

Downloading the SDSS dataset is a little more finicky since it is so large. Here we speed up the process via GNU Parallel (so make sure it is installed!):

  1. cd data/sdss/ && mkdir raws gals
  2. bash wrangle_csv.bash
  3. python preprocess.py

Running the code

Training

Once your datasets are downloaded you can train by running:

python train.py --dataset $DATASET --milestone $MILESTONE

where $DATASET is either probes or sdss, and $MILESTONE is the global step of a trained model that you want to continue from. If there is no previous training run, it is set as 0.

Inference

To run inference on your trained model you can do:

python infer.py --dataset $DATASET --milestone $MILESTONE --batches $BATCHES

where $DATASET is either probes or sdss, and $MILESTONE is the global step of a trained model that you want to infer from. $BATCHES is the number of batches we want to process (batch size is set as 96 here but can be changed within infer.py).

Pretrained models

You can find the pretrained models that we have used in the paper on Zenodo:

Copy them to your logdir, and run inference/continue training as shown above.

We also used a DDPM to generate fake Astronomy Picture Of the Day imagery. Check it out.
