Marching neural network

A beautiful piece of data art (as in https://lisacharlotterost.github.io/2015/12/19/Meaning-and-B...), but not much of a data visualization (I can hardly get any insight from it).

Is this meant to be useful or just look interesting? I can't really say I understand what is being shown.

for those wondering, what is on display are the level sets (3d contours) of a neural network.

this is a very cool use of shaders for raytracing, but it is not terribly informative.

Already mentioned in the comments. But still. Looks nice, but it is hard to get any insight from it. For instance, I zeroed out all weights and outputs, then slightly increased one weight. First there seems to be some non-zero bias on the minimal weight, second there is some mon-linearity which goes against intuition. It would be nice to be more clear about what is going on and then it can be more useful not only nice.

This is pretty cool. It seems impossible to mouse away while maintaining the orientation. I want to be able to perturb the weights and watch from different angles. Very cool though, nonetheless.
