For the last year I [Anaya] have been working on a web application that implements how I trained deep learning models at Johns Hopkins entirely in the browser. It’s available at https://aleaaxis.net/

I’m not sure if you have any experience with building deep learning models, but there’s a data generation component which you might find interesting. The data generation wasn’t meant to be very complex but I’d be interested if you have suggestions for improvement.

I think it’s going to be really useful for introducing students to deep learning. There’s a video at the learn page if you want to quickly see some examples. If you run into any issues let me know (I haven’t tested on different hardware / operating systems).

I don’t know enough about deep learning to be able to evaluate this, but it could be of interest to some of you. I like the idea that it can simulate from a generative model.
