Deep Visualization Toolbox
What it is
A short demo of the Deep Visualization Toolbox, which shows the activations inside a convolutional neural network as it processes live camera input. Viewers see individual units responding to edges, faces and text.
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN points to it as an intuitive way to see what hidden layers of a convnet learn, and as a reference for hierarchical feature learning.
