This is a great demo. But I would caution you to provide something in the initial writeup introduction that the concepts presented aren&#x27;t for beginners in machine learning, and that you don&#x27;t intend the following writeup to be a tutorial or anything like that.<p>I only say this because as I was reading it, I was looking at it from that standpoint, because on initial review, with the 2D nature and the &quot;cartoonish&quot; graphics (nothing wrong with that - in fact, it makes it very approachable), there is a subtle expectation that this demo might be for beginners in the field.<p>I continued reading, and as I read the technical background, it became quickly apparent that this was not using a simple multi-layer backprop ANN, but something seemingly more advanced, with little to go on to understand how it worked. There is enough there that an interested learner could research the topic, but I think a beginner to the topic would quickly become overwhelmed, because none of the various jargon and other terms (&quot;hyper-parameters? what the hell are those?&quot;, I can hear such a newbie exclaiming) have been defined.<p>I don&#x27;t believe you ever intended this to be understood or used as an introduction or a beginner&#x27;s tutorial to machine learning, but because it appears like it could be, mentioning that it isn&#x27;t at the beginning might be appropriate.<p>Furthermore, this could be an opportunity for you or someone else to create an approachable series of interactive &quot;run-in-the-browser&quot; javascript machine learning tutorials, starting with the basics, and culminating in something like this. Such a series would need to be planned well, and first defined what should be shown and in what order (ie - Do you discuss basics of linear algebra or probability? Do you incorporate classic ML techniques in the series along with neural networks?). Hmm - now that I think about it, I can actually envision a whole sequence of series of lessons, building from the bottom (&quot;What is a vector?&quot;) on up...<p>Ultimately - I found this demo fascinating and interesting. Thank you for sharing it!
