One of the creators of R2D3 here. Funny to wake up to this today! Happy to answer questions here or on bsky

This is from 2015. Both technically and conceptually it was ahead of its time.

It is a masterpiece! Each time I give an introduction to machine learning, I use this explorable explanation.

There is a collection of a few more here: https://p.migdal.pl/interactive-machine-learning-list/

So amazing, wish there were more articles like this. I love visual learning. Also reminds me of another blog post: https://pomb.us/build-your-own-react/ , probably not directly the same, but similar-ish written blog posts, easy to stay on track and follow. It is so easy to learn with this kind of blog post.

has anyone come across an r2d3-style explainer for something as high-dimensional as a Transformer's attention mechanism?

R2D3 did an amazing job here. It’s rare to see statistical learning concepts explained visually this clearly.

Where's the rest of it?

Josh Starmers books are very visual as well, probably the best source I'd recommend to learn ML
