CAFFE (Convolutional Architecture for Fast Feature Embedding) is a deep learning framework, originally developed at University of California, Berkeley. It is open source, under a BSD license.^[4] It is written in C++, with a Python interface.^[5]

History

Yangqing Jia created the caffe project during his PhD at UC Berkeley.^[6] Now there are many contributors to the project, and it is hosted at GitHub.^[7]

Features

Caffe supports many different types of deep learning architectures geared towards image classification and image segmentation. It supports CNN, RCNN, LSTM and fully connected neural network designs.^[8] Caffe supports GPU- and CPU-based acceleration computational kernel libraries such as NVIDIA cuDNN and Intel MKL.^[9][10]

Applications

Caffe is being used in academic research projects, startup prototypes, and even large-scale industrial applications in vision, speech, and multimedia. Yahoo! has also integrated caffe with Apache Spark to create CaffeOnSpark, a distributed deep learning framework.^[11]

In April 2017, Facebook announced Caffe2,^[12] which includes new features such as Recurrent Neural Networks. At the end of March 2018, Caffe2 was merged into PyTorch.^[13]
