Neural Network Visualization Techniques
Marjorie Darrah · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
Visualization can help bridge the cognitive gap by representing relationships in the neural and by examining how those relationships evolve. Two-dimensional diagrams, three-dimensional plots, or even 3D simulations can be used to visually compare structures and adaptation of the neural networks. These activities can be used as V&V activities to assess the constraints or limitations of the proposed neural network architecture. Visualization can aid in both developing and understanding systems involving neural networks. Personnel involved in verifying and validating such systems may have little or no knowledge of the workings of a neural network. Through the use of visualization techniques, such as simple neuron models, the MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox and Simulink, or even 3D visualizations, the understanding can be increased.
