Show HN: A browser-based neural network simulation
- mcrowe 11y agoNeural networks are a beautiful concept. They are also beautiful to watch. I created an interactive neural network visualizer and tutorial. It’s a fun way to develop some intuition about neural nets. It was created using vis.js, and a lot of love. Hope you enjoy!
- 1arity 11y agothat is so cool and a really clear tutorial. does it use three?
- mcrowe 11y agoGlad you enjoyed it! It uses a library called vis.js.
- Animats 11y agoThat's fun, but the whole point of neural networks is to train them against data, not tweak the weights by hand. Hand-tuning a neural network is not done much - it's like setting raw filter parameters by hand.
- niels_olson 11y agoTrue, but it's useful to get an intuitive understanding quickly. This doesn't go into the various loss functions or neuron types or matrices, just play-with-it level intuition. I bookmarked it under "Research/MachineLearning/Intro"
- mcrowe 11y agoWell said. That's exactly the point: to get "play-with-it level intuition". Even though its not rigorous, I still find it helps. I am planning on building a simulation of the back-prop algorithm though!
- bcherny 11y agoreally cool! is the source on github?
- mcrowe 11y agoThe source code is now up on github. https://github.com/mcrowe/neurovis https://github.com/mcrowe/neurovis
- kelheor 11y agoWow, this is an amazing intro to neural networks, thanks!
