Installation

1. Clone this repository.

   git clone https://github.com/deepsphere/deepsphere-cosmo-tf2.git
   cd deepsphere-cosmo-tf2
   

2. Install the dependencies.

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Note: the code has been developed and tested with Python 3.6. It does not work on Python 2.7!

3. Install the package.

   pip install -e .
   

4. (Optional) Test the installation.

   jupyter notebook
   

Notebooks

The below notebooks contain examples and experiments to play with the model.

1. Quick Start. The easiest to play with the model by classifying data on the whole sphere.
2. Advanced Tutorial. An introduction to various layers, customized training loops, and custom survey masks.
3. Generative Models. How to build an auto-encoder using spherical data and the transpose healpy pseudo convolutions.
