Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use the live demo for a browser-based learning experience, or follow the repository instructions when you want to run the visualization locally.

Who it is for

  • Learners seeking a visual introduction to CNN concepts
  • Educators looking for an interactive CNN teaching aid
  • Developers who want to inspect or run the visualization locally

Documented uses

  • Explore a visual explanation of convolutional neural networks.
  • Run the educational visualization locally from its JavaScript repository.
  • Find the project’s pointers to CNN training information and questions about custom models or image classes.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository identifies the software as available under the MIT License. Its README links to a live demo and documents a local npm development-server workflow.

  • The project is an interactive educational visualization, not a model-serving API or general-purpose ML framework.
  • Local use requires installing npm dependencies and starting the development server.
  • The README points to project issues for custom CNN models or image classes rather than documenting a complete customization workflow.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up CNN Explainer locally

Download the project, install its npm dependencies, and start the documented development server.

Before you start

  • The CNN Explainer repository or a downloaded copy
  • npm

Steps

  1. Clone or download the repository; the README also names degit as an option when you do not want commit history.

  2. Run npm install to install dependencies.

  3. Run npm run dev.

  4. Open localhost:3000 in a browser.

Expected outcome

The README describes CNN Explainer running in the browser from the local development server.

Guide limitations

  • The README directs readers to project issues for using a different CNN model or image classes; it does not provide a complete customization procedure.
