• numpy
• CUDA and cuDNN (if use the GPU mode "-g 0")

How to Run?

Move to chainer_code directory and enter the following command.

For CPU mode

python train.py -t 0

For GPU dode

python train.py -t 0 -g 0

Options

Options	Type	Settings
--gpu (-g)	int	GPU ID to use
--target (-t)	int (0-9)	Scene number from 0 to 9 (ball to reading)
