Understand

There has been an explosion in interest in machine learning (ML) in recent years due to its applications to science and engineering.

However, as ML techniques have advanced, tools for explaining and visualizing novel ML algorithms have lagged behind.
Animation has been shown to be a powerful tool for making engaging visualizations of systems that dynamically change over time, which makes it well suited to the task of communicating ML algorithms.
However, the current approach to animating ML algorithms is to handcraft applications that highlight specific algorithms or use complex generalized animation software.
