What it does
NN-SVG creates diagrams of neural network designs (the structures inside many AI models) by adjusting settings, rather than drawing them by hand.
It can make three common styles of figure and export them as SVG files, a picture format that stays sharp at any size and suits academic papers and websites.
Its author hopes it saves researchers time and can also help with teaching.
Who it's for
Machine-learning researchers, students and teachers who need clear network diagrams.
