HYPERPLANE ANIMATOR: Graphical display of backpropagation training data and weights

areas/neural/systems/animator/
The HYPERPLANE ANIMATOR is a program that allows convenient graphical display of the training data and weights in a back-propagation neural network. As learning progresses and the weights in a neural net alter, the hyperplane positions move. At the end of the training they are in positions that roughly divide training data into partitions, each of which contains only one class of data. Observations of hyperplane movement can yield valuable insights into neural network learning. The system currently animates only hyperplanes representing input-to-hidden weights.
