As slick as this kind of thing looks, I don't think it does help much to see raw filters on an image-by-image basis. The kind of insights that I think are more important are the abstract ones, like the recent paper about universal adversarial perturbations and the geometry of the decision boundary.
Visualizations can help, but more in the sense of rapidly iterating through bespoke visualizations to generate and test hypotheses. And to do that efficiently you don't need a slick tool that does one kind of visualization, you need a slick 'grammar' to efficiently build new visualizations with, Bret Victor style.
- TFortunato 10y agoDo you have a link to the paper you are referring to?
- taliesinb 10y agohttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.08401v1.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.08401v1.pdf Sorry, I have to ask.. any relation to Dan Fortunato? Maybe that's just a really common name in Boston.
- d_fortunato 10y agoNo relation... I think Fortunato is pretty rare. Also: hey Tali! :)
- realD_fortunato 10y agoPretty sure he was referring to me, not you...
- ReelDFortunato 10y agoNo... He was referring to me! I'm from Boston...
