We use multiband optical and near-infrared photometric observations of galaxies in the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey to predict photometric redshifts using artificial neural networks. The multiband observations span from 0.39 to 8.0 μm for a sample of ∼1000 galaxies in the GOODS-S field for which robust size measurements are available from Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 observations. We use self-organizing maps (SOMs) to map the multidimensional…
