Spiral galaxies can be classified into the Grand-designs and Flocculents, based on the nature of their spiral arms. The Grand-designs exhibit almost continuous, high contrast spiral arms and are believed to be driven by density waves; the Flocculents, on the other hand, have patchy or discontinuous spiral features and are mostly stochastic in origin. We construct a convolutional neural network (CNN) model that classifies spirals into Grand-designs and Flocculents, with a testing accuracy of 97.2%. We then use the above model for classifying 1, 220 new spirals from the SDSS. Out of these, 721 are identified as Flocculents, the rest being Grand-designs. The mean asymptotic rotational velocity of our sample Grand-designs and Flocculents are 218 km s −1 and 145 km s −1 respectively, while their respective de Vaucouleur morphological type indices are 2.6 and 4.7. This possibly indicates that Grand-designs are mostly ordinary high surface brightness galaxies like our Milky Way, while Flocculents are intermediate-mass low surface brightness galaxies.
