YouTube is teasing me! I've had a few videos get this little spike in views and then plateau. Probably for the best, as I'm not really trying to make viral content.

Heatmaps are great, but sometimes you need a more detailed explanation of a model. This is where Guided Backpropagation comes in. See how a simple trick, called ReLU masking, can reveal the complex features used by a deep learning model. youtu.be/C2otM1jHN8s

I published the latest section of my course. Check it out if you want to learn to interpret computer vision models by visualising their gradients of the input image and intermediate layers. The video version will be out next week :) adataodyssey.com/guided-backp...

In computer vision, heatmaps show which pixels in an image are used by a model to make a decision. Due to its speed, flexibility and reliability, Grad-CAM has become the go-to way for creating these... youtu.be/_QiebC9WxOc

A new animation from my video on Grad-CAM. It shows how feature maps are weighted and summed to create a heatmap.

Tried to do some filming today. Didn’t go so well! Still working out some problems with my new 24mm lens 😅

I ended up printing a few versions of these maps. So happy they came out well 😁

Things are heating up in the DL labs. We're implementing multilayer feedforward NNs from scratch. So, I created this diagram to help visualise the flow of activations and gradients during backprop.

I've posted a lot of content. The replies that get me the most worked up is not hate. It's the ones that go: "Hi, I loved your article. Based on what I read, you will find mine useful<link to completely unrelated work> "

So grateful for @abeba.bsky.social on stage at the AI Action Summit, challenging us to be honest about the fact that we’re moving backward, not forward toward a shared social contract as Big Tech have now walked back nearly every voluntary commitment they once made to be responsible social actors.
