I think there are something like this, don't know what the difference, can someone give a compare: deep learning studio: http://deepcognition.ai/ knime: https://www.knime.com/ (have deep learning plugin) runwayml: https://runwayml.com/ (in beta, did not open for public)

knime and deep learning studio look like tools for ML experts and I am not sure what runwayml does. Lobe appears to be something that a software engineer could use but they don't necessarily need to be a ML expert. We will see if Lobe delivers on that promise, but I think that is the difference.

@rpedela Thanks for your compare

Are there some tools like this but for deep/machine learning internals/theorys/math study/research rather then practical deep learning ?

Our vision is to be the tool that starts with great settings for beginners but lets you graduate into the internals as you become more expert - at the lowest level you can interactively create computation graphs and see their results as you change settings, sort of like eager mode for ml frameworks on steroids (or other visual computation graph programs that designers use like Origami/Quartz Composer).

The lobes in the UI are all essentially functions that you double click into to see the graph they use, all the way down to the theory/math.

If you want more comprehensive ways to learn the theory, I highly recommend Stanford's 231n course (http://cs231n.stanford.edu/) and the Goodfellow/Bengio/Courville Deep Learning book (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Adaptive-Computation-Ma...)

Is there any backstory of how this came together? I just watched the video, and one of the first thoughts was mike matas’s 2016 video “the brain” where he made an NN within quartz composer: https://youtu.be/eUEr4P_RWDA

Yeah! Adam and I met at NIPS 2015 when I demoed a gui prototype for OpenDeep, talking about ways to let non-coders build neural nets. Around the same time, we saw that QC Brain video Mike posted and we all started talking and unifying around this vision of helping people who aren't experts get started with designing and adding intelligence to apps. From there we formed the vision for Lobe and the rest is history!

@mbeissinger thanks, great to see Lobe have low levels for play.
