'How neural networks learn' - Part I: Feature Visualization

arXiv Insights · Beginner ·📄 Research Papers Explained ·8y ago
Interpreting what neural networks are doing is a tricky problem. In this video I dive into the approach of feature visualisation. From simple neuron excitation to the Deep Visualisation Toolbox and the Google DeepDream project, let's open up the black box!
