Layer Transferability Explorer (2D)

Interactive 2D transfer-learning simulator: pick the split layer between a frozen pretrained backbone and a freshly trained head, tune target-dataset size and fine-tuning, drag-pan and scroll-zoom the layer stack, and watch the classic transferability curve — including the mid-network co-adaptation dip — respond live.

This simulator visualizes a ten-layer neural network as a pannable, zoomable 2D layer stack and lets you choose exactly where to cut it for transfer learning: everything below the split stays frozen with its pretrained weights, everything above is replaced and trained fresh on a target task. Drag the split-layer slider and the target-dataset-size slider to watch a live, formula-driven accuracy curve respond — including the characteristic mid-network dip caused by broken co-adaptation between frozen and retrained layers, first documented by Yosinski et al. Toggle fine-tuning to see that dip mostly close, and overlay a random-initialization baseline to see exactly how much transfer learning is worth at any dataset size. Drag or scroll on the stack view to inspect any layer up close.

⚙ Under the hood

Pick the split layer between a frozen pretrained backbone and a freshly trained head in a pannable, zoomable 2D ten-layer stack, and watch a live, formula-driven accuracy curve reveal the mid-network co-adaptation dip from classic transfer-learning research.
