Abstract

Visualization of neural network learning faces the problem of overwhelming amount of visual information. This paper describes the application of clustering methods for reduction of visual information in the response function visualization. If only clusters of neurons are visualized instead of direct visualization of responses of all neurons in the network, the amount of visually presented information can be significantly reduced. This is useful for user fatigue reduction and also for minimization of the visualization equipment requirements. We show that application of Kohonen network or Growing Neural Gas with Utility Factor algorithm allows to visualize the learning of moderate-sized neural networks. Comparison of both algorithms in this task is provided, also with performance analysis and example results of response function visualization.
