当我们设计好网络结构后，在神经网络训练的进程中，迭代输出的log信息中，1般包括，迭代次数，训练损失代价，测试损失代价，测试精度等。本文提供1段示例，简单讲述如何绘制训练曲线（training curve）。
首先看1段训练的log输出，网络结构参数的那段疏忽，直接跳到训练迭代阶段：
I0627 21:30:06.004370 15558 solver.cpp:242] Iteration 0, loss = 21.6953
I0627 21:30:06.004420 15558 solver.cpp:258] Train net output #0: loss = 21.6953 (* 1 = 21.6953 loss)
I0627 21:30:06.004426 15558 solver.cpp:571] Iteration 0, lr = 0.01
I0627 21:30:28.592690 15558 solver.cpp:242] Iteration 100, loss = 13.6593
I0627 21:30:28.592730 15558 solver.cpp:258] Train net output #0: loss = 13.6593 (* 1 = 13.6593 loss)
I0627 21:30:28.592733 15558 solver.cpp:571] Iteration 100, lr = 0.01
...
I0627 21:37:47.926597 15558 solver.cpp:346] Iteration 2000, Testing net (#0)

I0627 21:40:40.575477 15558 solver.cpp:414] Test net output #1: loss/top⑴ = 0.00226
I0627 21:40:40.575487 15558 solver.cpp:414] Test net output #2: loss/top⑸ = 0.01204
I0627 21:40:40.708261 15558 solver.cpp:242] Iteration 2000, loss = 13.1739
I0627 21:40:40.708302 15558 solver.cpp:258] Train net output #0: loss = 13.1739 (* 1 = 13.1739 loss)
I0627 21:40:40.708307 15558 solver.cpp:571] Iteration 2000, lr = 0.01
...
I0628 01:28:47.426129 15558 solver.cpp:242] Iteration 49900, loss = 0.960628
I0628 01:28:47.426177 15558 solver.cpp:258] Train net output #0: loss = 0.960628 (* 1 = 0.960628 loss)
I0628 01:28:47.426182 15558 solver.cpp:571] Iteration 49900, lr = 0.01
I0628 01:29:10.084050 15558 solver.cpp:449] Snapshotting to binary proto file train_net/net_iter_50000.caffemodel
I0628 01:29:10.563587 15558 solver.cpp:734] Snapshotting solver state to binary proto filetrain_net/net_iter_50000.solverstate
I0628 01:29:10.692239 15558 solver.cpp:346] Iteration 50000, Testing net (#0)
I0628 01:29:13.192075 15558 blocking_queue.cpp:50] Data layer prefetch queue empty
I0628 01:31:00.595120 15558 solver.cpp:414] Test net output #0: loss = 0.6404232 (* 1 = 0.6404232 loss)

I0628 01:31:00.595127 15558 solver.cpp:414] Test net output #2: loss/top⑸ = 0.998659
I0628 01:31:00.727577 15558 solver.cpp:242] Iteration 50000, loss = 0.680951

I0628 01:31:00.727623 15558 solver.cpp:571] Iteration 50000, lr = 0.0096这是1个普通的网络训练输出，含有1个loss，可以看出solver.prototxt的部份参数为：
test_interval: 2000
base_lr: 0.01
lr_policy: "step" # or "multistep"
gamma: 0.96
display: 100
stepsize: 50000 # if is "multistep", the first stepvalue is set as 50000
snapshot_prefix: "train_net/net"固然，上面的分析，即使不理睬，对下面的代码也没甚么影响，绘制训练曲线本质就是文件操作，从上面的log文件中，我们可以看出：
- 对每一个出现字段
] Iteration和loss =的文本行，含有训练的迭代次数和损失代价； - 对每一个含有字段
] Iteration和Testing net (#0)的文本行，含有测试的对应的训练迭代次数； - 对每一个含有字段
#2:和loss/top⑸的文本行，含有测试top⑸的精度。
根据这些分析，就能够对文本进行以下处理：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# get train_iterations and train_loss
if '] Iteration ' in ln and 'loss = ' in ln:
arr = re.findall(r'ion \b\d+\b,',ln)
train_iterations.append(int(arr[0].strip(',')[4:]))
train_loss.append(float(ln.strip().split(' = ')[-1]))
# get test_iteraitions

host.set_xlim([-1500, 160000])
par1.set_ylim([0., 1.05])
plt.draw()
plt.show()示例代码中，添加了简单的注释，如果网络训练的log输出与本中所列出的不同，只需要稍微修改其中的1些参数设置，就可以绘制出训练曲线图。
最后附上绘制出的训练曲线图：
