Training deep learning models efficiently is critical for achieving high performance and reducing computational costs. Here are key strategies to optimize your training process:

📈 1. Key Optimization Techniques

  • Batch Size Tuning 💡
    Adjust batch sizes to balance memory usage and training speed. Larger batches can accelerate training but may reduce model accuracy.

  • Mixed Precision Training 🔧
    Leverage GPUs with mixed precision (FP16/FP32) to speed up computations without sacrificing accuracy.

  • Data Augmentation 📸
    Apply transformations like rotation, flipping, or cropping to enhance generalization.
