Discussion of visualization for chapter 19. Candidates for visualization:

• problems
• concepts
• solutions (algorithms)

[redblobgames]

I admit I don't have a lot of ideas at the moment for this chapter but the diagrams and algorithms are usually a starting point. Another place to start is to think about which concepts were most confusing when you studied this chapter, and whether there's a visual explanation that would have helped you.

Sometimes there's a animated/interactive visualization showing a possibility space in a way that the book can't because the book only has space for one diagram. Sometimes interactive visualization may be useful is to ask the reader to "run" the algorithm in some way. For any of the algorithms in the chapter, is there a visualization where you can ask the reader to select the next step from a set of candidates?

@redblobgames I have a couple ideas about the general concepts and algorithms about this chapter but also I have one question too. Should we include the graphical presentation of different network structures (e.g. mentioned feed-forward and recurrent networks)? I suppose it's a good way to show how these structures look like dynamically by vizualizing the work of nodes and links.

@MasterOfTheU Sure, anything that helps the reader understand the material but can't be printed in the book (because it requires animation/interaction/simulation) is worth considering. If there is too much to do at once, we might want to prioritize based on how much there is to gain by making an interactive visualization compared to what the book already has or could have in the next edition.
