About: A collection of python code to perform research in optimization. The aim is to provide reusable components that can be quickly applied to machine learning problems. Used in: - Ellipsoidal multiple instance learning - difference of convex functions algorithms for sparse classfication - Contextual bandits upper confidence bound algorithm (using GP) - learning output kernels, that is kernels between the labels of a classifier.

About: Caffe aims to provide computer vision scientists with a clean, modifiable implementation of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. We believe that Caffe is the fastest available GPU CNN implementation. Caffe also provides seamless switching between CPU and GPU, which allows one to train models with fast GPUs and then deploy them on non-GPU clusters. Even in CPU mode, computing predictions on an image takes only 20 ms (in batch mode).
