How to train a caffe model?

Question

Has anyone successfully trained a caffe model? I have a training ready image set that I would like to use to create a caffe model for use with Google\'s Deep Dream.

Answer 1

Thanks @Franck your code worked for me, but there is an update to iris_tuto.py in the while importing libraries.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
import sklearn.metrics 
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedShuffleSplit
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import h5py
import caffe
import caffe.draw
import google.protobuf.text_format

Answer 2

I have written a simple example to train a Caffe model on the Iris data set in Python. It also gives the predicted outputs given some user-defined inputs. The network as well as the solver settings need some more tuning but I just wanted to have some code skeleton to get started. Feel free to edit to improve.
