• Jason Yosinski — Deep neural networks have recently been producing amazing results! But how do they do what they do? Historically, they have been thought of as “black boxes”, meaning that their inner workings were mysterious and inscrutable. Recently, we and others have started shinning light into these black boxes to better understand exactly what each neuron has learned and thus what computation it is performing.
