This was just a fun thought experiment.

Feed it two inputs (e.g. chance of rain and wind speed; this is one of the examples in the demo) and it learns to answer a yes/no question like "bring an umbrella?" It's a one-neuron binary classifier with three learned parameters: two weights and a bias. Those three numbers map directly to Red, Green, and Blue. Save the model: you get a 1x1 PNG. Load the pixel: you get your classifier back. The color is the model.

This is super fun! Very elegant idea

Has anyone done this for larger neural nets? Is there a way to extract some kind of pattern or is the image just noise no matter how you construct it? I'd be curious to see something like that
