Visualizing neural network architectures with 3d-force-graph

below are some notes to myself about this project, which is a WIP

Neural Architecture Visualization

I am interested in visualizing different neural architectures. It seems that a good starting point for this would be using JavaScript libraries to create force directed graphs of neural network wirings.

I could begin with visualizing existing neural architectures including Dense neural networks, convolutions, and ResNet. What is easy is that each network can be represented simply by a graph, perhaps with the added detail of the weight between each layer.

JS

I can use this library for 3D Graphing: https://github.com/vasturiano/3d-force-graph

Vocab

Directed Acyclic Graph - a graph that only goes forwards and nodes never reference previous nodes in the graph.
