A Cybernetic Studio project by Ben Swift & Brendan Traw.
An installation which uses glowing worms to represent the training and activation weights of a multi-layer perceptron neural network.
Yep, we know that artificial neural networks are not actually brains. One of my PhD students wrote a whole (and excellent!) dissertation about it. But the name is catchy, and the glowing wires do look like worms, so.
TODO will update this list once it's built, but the planned BOM is
- Raspberry Pi 4
- Adafruit 12-bit PWM LED Driver
- nOOdz LEDs
- rotary encoder
- seven-segment display
- Nerves (Elixir) for making the board do cool things
- Axon (Elixir) for the ML training & inference
The code is all in this repo, so you can poke around for yourself.
