OpenAI’s new ‘Microscope’ makes it easy to analyse neurons in neural networks – AI


This report was 1st published on our sister Site, The Internet Of All Things.

OpenAI has introduced the OpenAI Microscope, a collection of visualisations of every significant layer and neuron in machine learning (ML) models.

OpenAI has announced on its official blog that Microscope will make it easier to analyse the features that form inside these neural networks. Made with the idea to encourage collaborative environments, OpenAI said it had developed this new tool to understand the behaviour of neurons and their interactions in detail, and share those observations.

Microscope systematically visualises every neuron in several commonly studied vision models, and makes all of those neurons linkable, said the company. Although these models and visualisations were already open source, visualising neurons was a “tedious” job. Microscope will try to change the feedback loop of exploring neurons from minutes to seconds. This quick feedback will help discover unexpected features like high-low frequency detectors in the ongoing circuits project.
