Visualization of Neural Nets [closed]

asked 2018-05-22 03:03:18 -0600

I want to post a scheme of neural net here. What tools to use? When I read articles on this topic, often there are good illustrations. How do authors create them? Do they use common graphics editors like Photoshop or there are specialized programs with ready details - empty and filled circles for neurons and synapses, curved links, and nice arrows?

There is the Hinton diagram:

https://matplotlib.org/gallery/specia...

Sorry it's in Python.

It allows you to visualize the weights in a neural network.

It seems like you want to visualize the network with circles for neurons and lines for weights. You could use colouring on the lines, and/or varying line width, to signify weight magnitude. I once did this kind of thing in OpenSCAD. I used spheres for the neurons, and cylinders for the weights. If you view the network from the top down, you can take a screenshot and import it into something like Inkscape, where you can make a nice vector drawing of the network using the program's circle and line tools.

As to Hinton diagram, I do the same by converting weights to UCHAR (C++), then display the matrix as a gray image. I need a scheme of connections between neurons and layers. Thanks for OpenScad. 3D model may be useful because internal connections may be rather complicated. Also if 1 layer contains, say, 20 neurons (on the picture), linking them manually is boring. Some programming is helpful.

Very cool. :)
