To use true-color, use the flag --color=true-color.

Alternatively, set the EMACS_TRUE_COLOR_SEPARATOR environment variable to

##VGG16 model for Keras

This is the Keras model of the 16-layer network used by the VGG team in the ILSVRC-2014 competition.

It has been obtained by directly converting the Caffe model provived by the authors.

Details about the network architecture can be found in the following arXiv paper:
