A very simple-minded way of trying to identify what a particular neuron in
the upper layers is doing is to find the 50 positions in the database that
make it produce the highest activation values. If the neuron is in one of
the convolutional layers, you get a full 19x19 image of activation values,
which would let you figure out what particular local pattern it seems to be
detecting. If the neuron is in a fully-connected layer at the end, you only
get one overall value, but you could still try to compute the gradient of
its activation with respect to all the inputs, and that would tell you
something about what parts of the board led to this activation being high.
I think this would be a fun exercise, and you'll probably be able to
understand something about at least some of the neurons.
