Neural net 2d representation.

Hi everyone, i know that this is probably the wrong forum to ask such a question, but i'm pretty sure that some of you had my same exact problem, and may lead me to a solution.

I want to click on my agent, and have his brain displayed onto a 2d panel in the upper right corner of the screen. Looked at some tutorials about making graphs and some UI, but they all seems too overcomplicated for such a simple result.

I find it both funny and weird, that i'm able to design, setup and train, complex 3d agents, but i can't draw a bunch of colored circles and lines.

Have you ever made an UI to display NN? is it really such a complicated issue in unity?

 

My guess is you'll need to read out Barracuda nodes. Haven't tried that myself yet though.

If you have a ONNX model, you can use https://netron.app/ to visualize the network and how all the pieces are connected together. I wonder what the use cases of visualizing the network in Unity would be, can you describe what you have in mind?

 

Note that Netron also works for Barracuda (.nn) files.

 

thanks for your replies.
My actual projects involves a custom implementation of the NEAT algorithm. To make it work, i had to write a simple feedforward net, so i'm not using barrarcuda nor the unity ml functions.

Everything revolves around the concept of genome.
I have a list of node genes (neurons) and a list of connections genes (weighted connections), that describe the net topology. From there i generate the neural net, and i'd also like to generate a 2d depiction of it.

I've never worked with 2d nor UI, and i find graph tutorials to be way more complex than i expected.
Nothing impossible, but there must be an easy way to just draw 2d circles and lines on a panel.
