What is this?Caffe is a deep learning framework focused on expression, speed and modularity, built by Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) and the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) with community contributors.
Is this a ready-to-use app or a framework I build on top of?It is a deep learning framework written in C++: you define network architectures and training setups and Caffe provides the computation engine, rather than being a finished application.
How do I get Caffe running?Follow the installation instructions and step-by-step examples linked from the project site; the README does not describe a single-command package manager install.
Is this only for Linux with NVIDIA GPUs, or are other setups supported?Besides the main Linux build, there are official variants: Intel Caffe tuned for CPU and multi-node setups, OpenCL Caffe for AMD or Intel GPUs, and a separate Windows Caffe port.
What is the BAIR model zoo mentioned in the docs?It is a collection of pretrained reference models from BAIR/BVLC and the wider community that you can download and use with Caffe instead of training a network from scratch.
Why would I cite Caffe in a paper?The README asks users to cite the 2014 arXiv paper 'Caffe: Convolutional Architecture for Fast Feature Embedding' by Jia et al. if the framework helped their research.
