Layer parameters in new Caffe version

[Ruud]

Hi everyone, 

I think I have an old prototext file that is incompatible with the latest Caffe release. For example this layer definition:

layers {

  bottom: "data"

  top: "conv1_1"

  name: "conv1_1"

  type: "CONVOLUTION"

  blobs_lr: 1

  blobs_lr: 2

  weight_decay: 1

  weight_decay: 0

  convolution_param {

    num_output: 64

    pad: 1

    kernel_size: 3

    weight_filler {

      type: "xavier"

    }

    bias_filler {

      type: "constant"

    }

  }

}

This is what I know:

• 'layers' is now changed to 'layer.
• Caffe cannot seem to parse blobs_lr and weight_decay anymore.

I get the following error while runing my old proottext:

[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/text_format.cc:296] Error parsing text-format caffe.NetParameter: 70:11: Message type "caffe.LayerParameter" has no field named "blobs_lr".

Any insights are most welcome!

Similarly, strict_dim seems deprecated? Or changed to something else perhaps?

layer {

  bottom: "pool5"

  top: "fc6"

  name: "fc6"

  type: "CONVOLUTION"

    strict_dim: false
...

[libprotobuf ERROR google/protobuf/text_format.cc:296] Error parsing text-format caffe.NetParameter: 685:15: Message type "caffe.ConvolutionParameter" has no field named "strict_dim".

This seems to work:

layer {

  bottom: "data"

  top: "conv1_1"

  name: "conv1_1"

  type: "Convolution"

  

  # These parameter do not seem to be parsed in the old caffe versions

  #blobs_lr: 1

  #blobs_lr: 2

  #weight_decay: 1

  #weight_decay: 0

  # These parameters should replace them in the new caffe version

  param {

    lr_mult: 1

    decay_mult: 1

  }

  param {

    lr_mult: 2

    decay_mult: 0
