What it does
This repository is a curated list of roughly two dozen tools for visualizing neural network architectures. It gathers Python libraries, browser-based renderers, LaTeX templates, and even MATLAB utilities under one roof, each paired with a screenshot and a one-line description. Think of it as a lookup table for finding the right way to turn code into a picture.
The interesting bit
The collection does not pretend to be a single framework; it happily mixes automated code-to-diagram converters like visualkeras and Net2Vis with hand-crafted LaTeX kits and ASCII art generators. That scope captures the real variety of the field, from publication-ready vector plots to browser-based 3D toys like TensorSpace.
Key highlights
- Automated and manual approaches: includes
visualkeras, Net2Vis, and PlotNeuralNet LaTeX templates. - Unusual output formats: ASCII architecture tables (
keras-sequential-ascii), interactive 3D browser scenes (TensorSpace), and native R/MATLAB plotters. - Framework coverage spans Keras, TensorFlow, Caffe, and framework-agnostic options like Graphviz and TikZ.
- Most entries include a screenshot, so you can judge aesthetic style before diving in.
Caveats
- This is purely an index; there is no installable package or unified API here.
- Descriptions are uneven—some entries get a full paragraph, others little more than a link and an image.
- Several tools listed are external projects with their own release cycles; the README may lag behind upstream changes.
Verdict
Useful if you need to compare how different tools render CNNs for a paper, presentation, or debugging session. Not for you if you want one drop-in library to handle visualization across all your projects.
