Abstract

By replicating the CNN part of Galnet network and inspired by Swin Transformer, the article constructs a Transformer-based model called SwinT Galnet by adding the Swin Transformer block into Galnet thus introduces the attention mechanism into that traditional model, trying to investigate the improvement of Transformer over CNN in a single Sérsic galaxy model data. This article compares Sérsic parameters of SwinT with those of CNN. The paper compares the parameters trained by Galnet and SwinT Galnet and shows that the Transformer has an improvement by calculating global attention in accuracy over the pure CNN-based network in galaxy parameters regression tasks, indicates that Transformer has a large potential in the field of galaxy morphology.
