They currently support multichannel maps or images as input. `Spherinator' uses [PyTorch Lightning](https://lightning.ai/docs/pytorch/stable/) to implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) based variational autoencoder (VAE) with a spherical latent space. +`HiPSter` creates HiPS tilings and a catalog which can be visualized interactively on the surface of a sphere using [Aladin Lite](https://github.com/cds-astro/aladin-lite).
