Clone or download this repository:
git clone [email protected]:poloclub/cnn-explainer.git
# use degit if you don't want to download commit histories
degit poloclub/cnn-explainerInstall the dependencies:
npm installThen run CNN Explainer:
npm run devNavigate to localhost:5000. You should see CNN Explainer running in your broswer :)
To see how we trained the CNN, visit the directory ./tiny-vgg/.
If you want to use CNN Explainer with your own CNN model or image classes, see #8 and #14.
CNN Explainer was created by Jay Wang, Robert Turko, Omar Shaikh, Haekyu Park, Nilaksh Das, Fred Hohman, Minsuk Kahng, and Polo Chau, which was the result of a research collaboration between Georgia Tech and Oregon State.
We thank Anmol Chhabria, Kaan Sancak, Kantwon Rogers, and the Georgia Tech Visualization Lab for their support and constructive feedback.
