 # Usage parse_log.sh caffe.log
-# It creates two files one caffe.log.test that contains the loss and test accuracy of the test and
-# another one caffe.log.loss that contains the loss computed during the training
+# It creates the following two text files, each containing a table:
+#     caffe.log.test (columns: '#Iters Seconds TestAccuracy TestLoss')
+#     caffe.log.train (columns: '#Iters Seconds TrainingLoss LearningRate')
