Venkatesh Babu"],"abstract":"With a view to provide a user-friendly interface for designing, training and\ndeveloping deep learning frameworks, we have developed Expresso, a GUI tool\nwritten in Python. Expresso is built atop Caffe, the open-source, prize-winning\nframework popularly used to develop Convolutional Neural Networks. Expresso\nprovides a convenient wizard-like graphical interface which guides the user\nthrough various common scenarios -- data import, construction and training of\ndeep networks, performing various experiments, analyzing and visualizing the\nresults of these experiments. The multi-threaded nature of Expresso enables\nconcurrent execution and notification of events related to the aforementioned\nscenarios. The GUI sub-components and inter-component interfaces in Expresso\nhave been designed with extensibility in mind. We believe Expresso's\nflexibility and ease of use will come in handy to researchers, newcomers and\nseasoned alike, in their explorations related to deep learning.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.06605v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1505.06605v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"expresso-a-user-friendly-gui-for-designing","repo_url":"https://github.com/val-iisc/expresso","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
