Common Tuning Tips

  • Learning Rate Scheduling: Use step decay or cosine annealing to stabilize training.
  • Model Architecture: Experiment with layers, activation functions, and connectivity patterns.
  • Evaluation Metrics: Monitor accuracy, F1-score, or custom metrics during validation.

Best Practices

✅ Always validate changes on a separate dataset.
✅ Leverage automated tools like Optuna or Ray Tune for efficiency.
✅ Keep a log of experiments to track improvements.
