Visualizing Representations: Deep Learning and Human Beings

In a previous post, we explored techniques for visualizing high-dimensional data. Trying to visualize high dimensional data is, by itself, very interesting, but my real goal is something else. I think these techniques form a set of basic building blocks to try and understand machine learning, and specifically to understand the internal operations of deep neural networks. Deep neural networks are an approach to machine learning that has revolutionized computer vision and speech recognition in the...
