Deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve state-of-theart performance in many of the tasks such as image classification, speech recognition and so on, but the principle of them is like a black box. In this paper, we propose a method to combine several connected layers into one layer to visualize the transform relations represented by the connected layers. In theory, this method can visualize the transformation between any two layers in DNNs and is more efficient to analyze the changes of the transformation across different layers compared with other visualization algorithms like deconvolution or saliency maps. Furthermore, we visualize the transform relations not only for a specific input image but the class which all the input images belong to.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
