Can you explain the plots in more detail?

I can't quite grasp how to read them

[srush]

Yes good question I should make them more clear. Happy for any suggestions

• The red "spotlight" is showing df(x)_o / dx_i pointing from i to o.
• The white "nudge" on f(x) is showing the target: \sum_i df(x)_o / dx_i . i.e. the change in f(x) with a \epsilon increase to all x's
• The red "nudge" on f(x) is showing the user try at: \sum_i df(x)_o / dx_i .

For some problems it gets a bit messy, so I have a sparse mode. In the sparse mode instance of all i , I only show these values for some of the i's.

Where are the white "nudge" and red "nudge"?

[srush]

The white nudge is the region above the f(x) line here before you have started. It's kind of telling you the answer:

The red nudge shows up after you give an answer: here I gave a constant negative value and the nudge is below the line.

I see, interesting! The most obvious information the plot gives is which outputs are linked to which inputs, and then there's a subtler info about how wrong the dx's are. Did I get that correctly?

[srush]

That's correct.
