Mycelium - Talaria's Graph Viewer

Mycelium is a library for quickly creating graph visualizations of machine learning models (or any directed acyclic graph). It was created to power the graph representations of Talaria (ACM CHI 2024 Best Paper Honorable Mention) — which is an interactive visualization for optimizing the efficiency of on-device inference of machine learning models.

It supports the following features:

• Fully customizable node labels and tooltips

• Expand and collapse nodes of large hierarchical models

• Based on SVG but can handle models with thousands of nodes

• You can create a loader for your own data format

Mycelium consists of three parts that are mostly independent from another:

• The Svelte-based viewer in /src/lib
• Loaders for various formats in /src/lib/loader
• A SvelteKit-based web app for quick tests and development in /src/app.html

Usage

To install Mycelium via NPM you can run:

npm install @apple/mycelium

If you prefer to vendor Mycelium into your project you can follow these steps:

# in the root directory of Mycelium
pnpm install
pnpm pack # automatically calls `pnpm build:lib`

The resulting tarball can than be added to your project's dependencies in package.json like so:

"@apple/mycelium": "file:apple-mycelium-x.y.z.tgz",

Example

The following is an example of the output of Mycelium for a small network with two levels of hierarchy. The information that is shown for each node is fully customizable.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run dev
