New tool visualizes deep learning math in Microsoft Excel

Researchers have developed "The Architect," a system that integrates deep learning mathematics directly into Microsoft Excel. This tool allows users to define neural networks in a table, generating an Excel workbook that visualizes the forward and backward passes, including parameter updates. The system exposes matrices, activations, losses, and gradients as editable spreadsheet regions, enabling interactive exploration of concepts like learning rates and vanishing gradients. The Architect also generates corresponding PyTorch code snippets to bridge the gap between mathematical formulas and implementation. AI

IMPACT Enables interactive exploration of deep learning concepts for educational and diagnostic purposes.

    The Architect: Interactive Visualization of Deep Learning Mathematics Directly in Microsoft Excel

    arXiv:2608.13572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present The Architect, a system that turns Microsoft Excel into an interactive view of deep learning mathematics. A user describes a neural network in a compact table. The system then generates a workbook that shows the full fo…
