An Open Convolutional Neural Network Framework in C++ From Scratch
I am trying to port to Bazel and adding more documentation. It may break some of the existing functionalities; but it should be stable in three weeks.
OpenCNN
OpenCNN is a convolutional neural network framework implemented with C++11 from scratch.

Features
- Easy to understand
- Simply implemented and a good source for learning CNN
- Easy to extend
- Well defined interface for adding new layer types
- Few dependencies
- Fully tested
- Every layer is covered by unit test with googletest
- autodiff (in forward mode) is implemented to verify the correctness of forward/backward propagation
- Pure C++
- If you are a big fan of C++
- Runs on CPU
- No GPU is needed.
- 95.21% accuracy on MNIST test dataset in 5000 iterations with a batch size of 16
Supported Layers
- convolutional
- batch normalization
- ReLU
- leaky ReLU
- max pooling
- full connected
- dropout
- softmax
- cross entropy loss (i.e., negative log loss)
- softmax with cross entropy loss
- L2 loss
Build
Install Dependencies on Linux (Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev
Install Dependencies on Mac OS X
brew install gflags glog protobuf
Compile From Source
git clone https://github.com/csukuangfj/OpenCNN.git
cd OpenCNN
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Run Unit Test
cd OpenCNN/build
./gtest
It should pass all the test cases on your system.
Example with MNIST
We use the following network architecture for MNIST:
| Layers | Description |
|---|---|
| Input | dim: 1x28x28 |
| Convolution-1 | num_output: 32, kernel_size: 3x3 |
| Batch normalization-1 | |
| ReLU-1 | |
| Convolution-2 | num_output: 32, kernel_size: 3x3 |
| Batch normalization-2 | |
| ReLU-2 | |
| Max pooling-1 | win_size: 2x2, stride: 2x2 |
| Convolution-3 | num_output:64, kernel_size: 3x3 |
| Batch normalization-3 | |
| ReLU-3 | |
| Convolution-4 | num_output: 64, kernel_size: 3x3 |
| Batch normalization-4 | |
| ReLU-4 | |
| Max pooling-2 | win_size: 2x2, stride: 2x2 |
| Full connected-1 | num_output: 512 |
| Batch normalization-5 | |
| ReLU-5 | |
| Dropout-1 | keep_prob: 0.8 |
| Full connected-2 | num_output: 10 |
| Softmax with log loss |
During the training a batch size of 16 is used and the accuracy reaches 95.21% after 5000 iterations. The results for training loss and test accuracy are plotted in the following figure:
A pretrained model taken after 20000 iterations achieving an accuracy of 96.74% is provided in OpenCNN-Models.
Usage
Please refer to examples/mnist for how to use OpenCNN.
More tutorials will be provided later.
