Hey Ryan,I have already submitted a draft proposal in which I have covered many 
points and more work that I have been doing. I described phases and discussion 
point in my draft, hopefully you can review it and make some comments there or 
we can continue the discussion on mailing channel or irc channel.RegardsGopi M

[mlpack] GSoC 2020: Visualization Tool Hello, and apologies for my absence. In 
case it's not clear, were I to mentor the visualization project, I'd certainly 
need a co-mentor. GSOC, if done right, is a reasonable time commitment, and 
students deserve good support, which I don't think I can offer entirely on my 
own now.That being said...I think that these visualizations are a reasonable 
start. I'm wondering how you think that users will want to create or interact 
with these visualizations? Will they want to use a log scale in certain cases? 
Are they interested in the size of an ANN layer's input/output? The project 
proposals are generally reasonably openly stated so that you can decide exactly 
what form of the project is most interesting or useful. I'm curious what you 
think!Thank you,-Ryan BirminghamOn Tue, Mar 17, 2020 at 9:41 AM Gopi Manohar

project, I am looking for some feedback and help to prepare a proof of concept. 
My previous mail depicts my doubts about should we integrate this tool with the 
existing library as this will impact our path to build the tool. Also I have 
already started to work on the tool, I took the existing model of mlpack(Digit 
Recognizer)Using openCV I visualised the MNIST dataset. OpenCV doesn't have any 
in-build function to load .csv images so I wrote my custom function for that. 
The output is something like this, also the label will be displayed in the 
terminal or if required we can add it to the image itself:Using matplotlibcpp I 
also plotted accuracy while training the model. This can be displayed in two 
ways:Either at the time of training. The graph will be updated after each 
epoch(better on faster machines)Show the whole graph once the whole training is 
done.I also made a graph which depicts the order of layers added in the model. 
I used openCV for this, also I read that text rendering is not much efficient 
in openCV so maybe we can discuss how to tackle that by some testing.Till now 
this much has been done, I am thinking about more model metric like loss and 
many other ML metrics. Using articles like these and referring to research 
papers, we can discuss what more to add. Also the main point still remains is 
how the user will use the tool. Can I get some feed back regarding this, as 
proposal submission is already open and I want to submit a detailed proposal.

Coz it was not listed on the idea page and there are many things which I would 
I like to discuss about this project from a mentor's perspective. About 
serialized model, I need to go through the saved .h5 file to see how exactly we 
can use it. Also I am just trying to determine what all can be included in this 
project, I am yet to decide how to implement these things coz there are many 
options available. As it was mentioned on the idea page that proof of concept 
is required so I am just working on determining the outlines of the project 
first,Regards.Gopi M Tatiraju On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 1:35 AM Rahul Prabhu

I was wondering, to visualize the neural network, could we not just parse the 
serialized model returned by data::Save()?On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 11:59 PM Gopi

Tool, I think we may need to use one or more different libraries to build it, 
so a discussion regarding the dependencies is needed to proceed further. I took 
the example of Digit Recogniser and started working on it. I started by 
visualising the dataset itself. Using OpenCV I wrote code to read images from 
CSV file and display them(OpenCV doesn't have any function to read csv files as 
images). Now I think another good visual will be a list of all the layers and 
activation function which are used and connections between them. Now we have 
some options to do this:Total Naive Approach: We can use file handling. Our 
tool will take code file as input. All layers are added like 
this(Add<Parameter>). We can detect the parameters and using openCV we can 
arrange them in a graph fashion. A better approach: A better approach will be 
to add a variable or function (for ex. FNN class) which keep track of the 
layers being added and other required parameters. Then we can create an object 
of visual class, and the FNN class object can be passed to this visual class 
which then can produce the required visualization.Method 1 maybe not that 
efficient and is prone to many errors as here we also have to ensure code file 
given by the user contains right code and all the connections are properly 
done. But here we don't need to touch any of the base code of the library so 
required testing will be only be limited to Visual Tool ClassMethod 2 is 
efficient but changing the base code of the library will required extensive 
testing before we can merge it. Testing will take more time here, but using 
objects can we more beneficial.I need some views regarding what method should 
be chosen and how to proceed from here. Once the flow is established other 
parameters like accuracy, bias and other parameters can be visualised using 
graphs. I have some parameters in mind for now, we can also take some 
inspiration from tensor-board for that. Waiting for suggestion as  I am 
planning to implement a proof of concept so that we can understand the project 
better.RegardsGopi M Tatiraju
