Thanks for the suggestion, added it to our issues... https://github.com/distillpub/template/issues/62
shancarter··on Feature Visualization: How neural nets build up their understanding of images
I suspect the extra fidelity won't have much payoff for high dimensions considering the large cognitive overhead required for a person to make sense of it. Even a six dimensional approximation of a 1,000 dimensional space is quite crude, and we're pretty confused by spaces larger than three.

There’s also an appendix where you can browse all the layers. https://distill.pub/2017/feature-visualization/appendix/goog...

I'm one of the editors of distill and I designed the interface for the playground, along with my awesome colleague Daniel Smilkov.

I totally agree that this is very important. While it isn't currently our primary focus, having a publishing platform that can accommodate a variety of content types (including code and data) feels like a step in the right direction.

Just by spreading the word :)

Good points. We do believe that well-written articles save readers time on the other end, which hopefully will offset some (if not all) of the cost of producing them. We also believe that taking the time to edit your ideas not only helps your audience but helps your own thinking. Outsourcing the work to others would most likely just lead to adding a veneer to an article rather than a substantive improvement. Instead of outsourcing we're thinking about how to foster collaborations in the future.

This is a high-priority for us. By focusing on web-standards and avoiding proprietary plugins we're pretty confident that the content will be future-proof.

Me and the other authors of the post will be around if anyone has any questions.
shancarter··on Tinker with a Neural Network in Your Browser
I'm sorry you're having problems with Safari. I can't reproduce on my end, but if you're still having problems you can raise an issue on github with some information about your system.

We would've liked to have it constantly training, but didn't want to abuse your CPU :)
