Seeking the wisdom of the crowd for such Big Data processing has proved extremely beneficial. However, an analysis of one of the Galaxy Zoo morphological classification data sets has shown that a significant majority of all classified galaxies are labelled as “Uncertain”. This book reports on how to use data mining, more specifically clustering, to identify galaxies that the public has shown some degree of uncertainty for as to whether they belong to one morphology type or another. The book shows the importance of transitions between different data mining techniques in an insightful workflow. It demonstrates that Clustering enables to identify discriminating features in the analysed data sets, adopting a novel feature selection algorithms called Incremental Feature Selection (IFS). The book shows the use of state-of-the-art classification techniques, Random Forests and Support Vector Machines to validate the acquired results. It is concluded that a vast majority of these galaxies are, in fact, of spiral morphology with a small subset potentially consisting of stars, elliptical galaxies or galaxies of other morphological variants.Studies in Big Data,2197-6503 ;6Computational intelligenceArtificial intelligenceObservations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsData miningComputational Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Data Mining and Knowledge Discoveryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18030Computational intelligence.Artificial intelligence.Observations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Data mining.Computational Intelligence.Artificial Intelligence.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery.520.222Edwards Kieran Jayauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1424427Gaber Mohamed Medhatauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741140603321Astronomy and Big Data3553607UNINA
