TensorFlow Playground

Interactive in-browser visualization for learning how neural networks work.

About TensorFlow Playground

TensorFlow Playground is an interactive, browser-based visualization for learning how neural networks learn. You choose a dataset, adjust features, hidden layers, neurons, learning rate, and activation functions, then watch the network classify data in real time. Written in TypeScript and open sourced under the Apache License, it is a teaching aid for students and curious beginners rather than a production machine learning tool.
