Using data of G-type stars from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE), a study is conducted to determine if the Milky Way has two distinct disk components. After applying machine learning techniques such as self-organizing map (SOM), no major clusters of stars are found. Based on the results, the Milky Way does not appear to have two distinct disks.
