How to improve deep learning model?

Improve - Troubleshooting

Summary

• The first step is to address under-fitting:

  • Add model complexity → Reduce regularization → Error analysis → Choose a more complex architecture → Tune hyper-parameters → Add features.

• The second step is to address over-fitting:

  • Add more training data → Add normalization → Add data augmentation → Increase regularization → Error analysis → Choose a more complex architecture → Tune hyper-parameters → Early stopping → Remove features → Reduce model size.

• The third step is to address the distribution shift present in the data:

  • Analyze test-validation errors and collect more training data to compensate.

  • Analyze test-validation errors and synthesize more training data to compensate.

  • Apply domain adaptation techniques to training and test distributions.

• The final step, if applicable, is to rebalance your datasets:

  • If the model performance on the test & validation set is significantly better than the performance on the test set, you over-fit to the validation set.

  • When it does happen, you can recollect the validation data by re-shuffling the test/validation split ratio.
