Abstract

As deep learning research develops and models become larger and more complex, there are increasing concerns to deep learning about its’ low ability of explanations to humans and its black box characteristics. Model visualization research of DL (Deep Learning) has been attracting attention for a decade for a solution to this concern. VR (Virtual Reality) interaction research between humans and models is a practical means of model visualization research with great potential but is still in the early stages. The purpose of our study is to propose new methods for VR technology to contribute to the development of deep learning models by investigating and implementing the visualization technology of deep learning and VR research projects. In this paper, we also report our two experimental results. One is a web survey using demo images of a PC application and a VR goggles application, and the other is an evaluation experiment using VR goggles.
