    • Wow, this looks amazing. Going to check out how to process my model from keras to use with this tool. Doesn't like that complicated. Gonna give this a shot :) Great work !

    • This is awesome!

  • Good for teaching newcomers about neural networks

    From 2 comments
    • To kinda build on this, I think where this particular tool could be most beneficial would be for users just learning about neural networks, deep learning, CNNs and the like. That…

    • And use an Occulus rift for full immersive visualization!

Objections

  • 3D view is unhelpful for large models and power users

    • This is neat! I hope you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism here, but early on in my research career I also thought it would be a good idea to "visualize the neural…

Requests

  • Visualize weights and gradients

    From 2 comments
    • To provide some feedback: 1. display weights and gradients (in addition to activations) 2. display how activations/weights/gradients change during training. For example, I should…

    • Quite neat! Some constructive feedback - I think in addition to mouse controls, having keyboard 'spaceship' flying around is pretty important. I would also try to add model…

    • Would love to see this be vizualized in Augmented reality as well, like an ARKit app.

  • Support RNN visualization

    From 1 comment
    • Always wanted to visualize CNNs like this. I wonder whether it is possible to visualize RNNs at all.

Questions

  • Does it support transposed convolution?

    From 1 comment
    • Is convolution transpose supported in this/tensorflow.js? Might be fun to visualize fully convolutional networks this way...

    • Well, take a look at this :) https://github.com/NCBI-Hackathons/deVoReaNN Totally independently, we had the same idea of visualizing a DL in VR using an oculus -- a few months…
