Model visualization

For simpler models, a simple model summary is sufficient, but for more complex topologies, Keras provides a way to visualize the model. It is a layer on top of the graphviz library.

Getting ready

Please make sure graphviz is installed:

sudo apt-get install graphviz

Also, install pydot, which is needed in the underlying implementation:

sudo pip install pydot

How to do it...

Let's take a look at an example where we create a simple model and call plot_model on it.

The plot_model() function in Keras creates a plot of the neural network...
