How to Visualize Neural Networks in 3D with TensorSpace

Nov 23, 2023 | Data Science

Are you fascinated by the workings of neural networks but find it challenging to understand their structure and processes? Look no further! TensorSpace is here to simplify 3D visualization of neural networks, allowing you to dive deep into the fascinating world of deep learning. With its intuitive API and user-friendly functionalities, you can explore the inner workings of models created using TensorFlow.js, Keras, and other frameworks.

What is TensorSpace?

TensorSpace is a neural network 3D visualization framework that leverages the power of TensorFlow.js, Three.js, and Tween.js. It allows you to build deep learning layers just like Keras, load pre-trained models, and visualize these models right from your web browser. What makes TensorSpace truly special is its ability to provide an interactive learning experience. You can understand how a model is structured, how it is trained, and how it generates predictions based on intermediate information.

Why Use TensorSpace?

  • Interactive: Creates interactive models you can explore right in your browser.
  • Intuitive: Makes it easier to visualize and understand model abstractions and predictions.
  • Integrative: Supports pre-trained models from popular deep learning frameworks.

Getting Started with TensorSpace

1. Installation Steps

Let’s get you started with installing TensorSpace!

Step 1: Download Dependencies

Begin by downloading the necessary build files:

Step 2: Download TensorSpace

Download the TensorSpace build file tensorspace.min.js. You can download it from:

Step 3: Include Build Files in Your Web Page

Include all the downloaded build files:

<script src="tf.min.js"></script>
<script src="three.min.js"></script>
<script src="tween.min.js"></script>
<script src="TrackballControls.js"></script>
<script src="tensorspace.min.js"></script>

2. Preprocess the Pre-trained Model

Before visualizing your model, preprocessing is crucial! Use the TensorSpace Converter to prepare your model for the visualization process. Follow the instructions provided in the TensorSpace documentation for how to convert models and visualize them.

3. Visualizing Your Model

Once you’ve set everything up, you can create your interactive 3D TensorSpace model. Begin by creating a model instance and loading the preprocessed model:

let container = document.getElementById("container");
let model = new TSP.models.Sequential(container);

// Add layers based on LeNet structure
model.add(new TSP.layers.GreyscaleInput());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Padding2d());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Conv2d());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Pooling2d());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Conv2d());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Pooling2d());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Dense());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Dense());
model.add(new TSP.layers.Output1d({ outputs: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] }));

model.load({
    type: "tensorflow",
    url: "PATH_TO_MODEL/model.json"
}).then(() => {
    console.log("Hello World from TensorSpace!");
});

Once your model is loaded successfully, you can visualize the model right in your browser!

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues you might encounter while using TensorSpace:

  • Model Not Loading: Ensure that your model path is correct and the model is compatible with TensorSpace format.
  • Styles Not Rendering: Double-check the installation of Three.js and ensure it is correctly linked in your project.
  • Library Errors: Make sure that all necessary libraries are fully downloaded and included in your HTML file.
