Title: Direct-Manipulation Visualization of Deep Networks,
Abstract: The recent successes of deep learning have led to a wave of interest from
non-experts. Gaining an understanding of this technology, however, is
difficult. While the theory is important, it is also helpful for novices to
develop an intuitive feel for the effect of different hyperparameters and
structural variations. We describe TensorFlow Playground, an interactive, open
sourced visualization that allows users to experiment via direct manipulation
rather than coding, enabling them to quickly build an intuition about neural
nets.
