Seeing in Cells: How Handwriting Becomes Input for a Neural Network
hwrjs
How to preprocess handwriting for a neural network: raw pen strokes become a scale-invariant 12×12 binary grid of 144 numbers — implemented in TypeScript, no libraries.

Making a Neural Network Dream: DeepDream-Style Visualization in JavaScript
knowledge-extract
A DeepDream-style technique in pure JavaScript: optimize a blank image until a neural network confidently sees a digit. Visualize what an MNIST network has learned.
Featured Projects
Handwriting Recognition in the Browser
A neural network that reads your handwriting — trained and running entirely in JavaScript, no server, no ML library. Draw a letter and watch it classify in real time.
Knowledge Extraction from a Neural Network
What does a network trained on MNIST actually learn? Two methods to find out: causal index heat maps and iterative input optimization — both running in pure JavaScript.
