## Abstract (arXiv)

We present MLRG Deep Curvature suite, a PyTorch-based, open-source package for analysis and visualisation of neural network curvature and loss landscape. Despite of providing rich information into properties of neural network and useful for a various designed tasks, curvature information is still not made sufficient use for various reasons, and our method aims to bridge this gap. We present a primer, including its main practical desiderata and common misconceptions, of textitLanczos algorithm, the theoretical backbone of our package, and present a series of examples based on synthetic toy examples and realistic modern neural networks tested on CIFAR datasets, and show the superiority of our package against existing competing approaches for the similar purposes.
