Manifold is a tool for visualizing machine learning model's predictions, understand their performance and to compare them. It is independent on the specifics of the model and only cares about inputs and outputs, which makes it widely applicable.
I worked on a prototype of Manifold that was described in paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics in 2019.
Here is a video of the presentation Yang Wang gave atIEEE VIS 2018 in Berlin:
Lezhi Li and Yang Wang developed the prototype further into a fully fledged model debugging tool described in a blogpost, and ended up open-sourcing it making the code available on GitHub.
The tool received a significant amount of press coverage:
