How to Easily Draw Neural Network Architecture Diagrams

Using the no-code diagrams.net tool to showcase your deep learning models with diagram visualizations

As we work with increasingly complex neural networks, the architecture can grow into something difficult to comprehend and digest.

And when we want to explain these architectures to technical and non-technical audiences, the usual model summary printout does not make it any easier to grasp.

Instead of explaining the model in words, diagram visualizations are way more effective in presenting and describing a neural network’s architecture.

We have probably written enough code for the rest of the year, so let’s take a look at a simple no-code tool for drawing custom architecture diagrams — diagrams.net (formerly known as draw.io).
