CAFFE (Convolutional Architecture for Fast Feature Embedding) is a deep learning framework, originally developed at UC 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 based accleration using CuDNN of Nvidia.[9]

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.[10]

In April 2017, Facebook announced Caffe2,[11] which includes new features such as Recurrent Neural Networks.
