Training Loss Falls, Validation Loss Rises

Diagnose overfitting from training history.

#deep learning#overfitting#epochs#validation

Scenario

Across epochs 1-5, training loss is 0.72, 0.55, 0.43, 0.34, 0.28; validation loss is 0.70, 0.54, 0.45, 0.49, 0.58.

Problem statement

Choose a checkpoint and explain the training signal.

Your Task

  1. Identify overfitting onset.
  2. Explain why training loss is insufficient.
  3. Choose a checkpoint and describe early stopping.
  4. Distinguish training and inference.
