Abstract
There is an obvious need for automated classification of galaxies, as
the number of observed galaxies increases very fast. We examine one ap
proach to this problem, utilising Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). W
e quote results from a recent study which show that ANNs can classsify
galaxies morphologically as well as humans can.
