The Caffe Deep Learning Framework: An Interview with the Core Developers

Articles, Edge AI and Vision Alliance, Technical Articles /

Spend any amount of time researching the topic of deep learning and you'll inevitably come across the term Caffe. This convolutional neural network (CNN) framework, originally named DeCAF, was initially developed by Yangqing Jia (now a research scientist at Google), during his Ph.D. program at the University of California, Berkeley. It is now maintained by […]

New Competition Aims to Spur Energy-efficient Computer Vision Innovation

Articles, Edge AI and Vision Alliance, Technical Articles /

Powerful vision processors have existed for some time now, as exemplified by supercomputers and the longstanding academic research on computer vision. What's recently changed are the "low-cost" and "energy-efficient" aspects of vision processing, along with evolutionary (and sometimes revolutionary) accuracy and other improvements in the algorithms running on the processors. Well-known image classification competitions like
