Comments.Text: What would you like to visualize? Most papers just show the tensor dimensions (and maybe skip connections) and describe the activations of each layer. With Keras you can just call `model.summary()` in Python and it will show you the dimensions and layer types.

  **Is there an easy way to display a neural network in the standard pictorial way?**
  
  Each deep learning package has **easy** and **pictorial** options for model visualization. In TensorFlow, the following [model plotting utilities](https://keras.io/api/utils/model_plotting_utils/) are available: `plot_model` and `model_to_dot`.
