Very nice. This could look even cooler if you clustered the neurons based on simultaneous activations, and relocated the neurons based on this clustering.

Excellent work. I liked the way you separated the layers visualization. Would love to see more. I was looking for online course or tutorial to understand the whole process of creating this visualization better. Thank you so much for sharing it and the code along.

Very nice animation to get a good intuitive sense of what is going on. Also cool to see that some other outcomes light up dimly. Indicating it is not an absolute system but based on weights. Thank you for posting it.

This is a very beautiful visualization!

This made me want to dive deeper into solidifying my understanding in neural networking. I love data visualizations so much, they are the ultimate reward/feedback when you learn and want to verify your knowledge.

It would be so cool if we could physically make something like this with wires and potentiometers.

Very beautiful! It would be interesting to see the dynamics when an input digit is moved left/right/up/down inside the input matrix, provided that the network result is resilient to such moves.

Thanks. This makes it very easy to understand how an NN works 👏

@marijn von Vliet can I use a snippet of this video on an upcoming video on my channel about AI? Will add credits on screen to your channel

I finally feel that I understand how neural networks work. Certainly not the details, but the overview.

[semtex]

took an AI class, i was so flabbergasted with backpropagation/stochastic gradient descent had to visualize what it would look like so i googled it. can't thank you enough!

Neural networks is NOT the only approximation technique.

[Mortequal]

Would be interesting if this was interactive. Set it to a number and then affect the output by selecting/pulling different points with the cursor.

[MODEST]

Marvelous invention of Man since the internet . God bless you . Thanks for sharing .

[skaramicke]

I would like to see one where a number is showing on the display and then moves from one side to the other, so we can see the activations shift but still trigger the same resulting number.

[Klangraum]

Wow, that is a cool image-to-meaning representation.

[nehalkalita]

Visualising in 3D has made it more meaningful.

[Slarti]

Interestingly enough back in 1988 when I started my computer science degree course one of the final year students had, for his final year project, written a machine learning program that could learn the alphabet on an Atari ST.

[rubenhayk]

I see this network already smart enough to be a manager.

The algorithm was slow. But here we are 👌
