VR-ANN: Visualization of Artificial Neural Network Models in Virtual Reality

Authors:

Abstract:
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs or NNs) are used in Deep Learning (DL), a subset of Machine Learning (ML). And yet, especially to novices or infrequent users, ANNs can seem abstract and mathematical, and not readily accessible and understandable. Furthermore, a model’s configuration and output results may not be comprehensible and obvious. To make ANN models more accessible and support comprehension and analysis even for large models, this paper contributes our VR-ANN solution concept for immersive ANN visualization in Virtual Reality (VR). Its feasibility is demonstrated with a prototype, while a case-based evaluation provides insights into its capabilities and potential for supporting ANN model building, comprehension, analysis, and collaboration.
