Is this normal?

[Choneke]

With the following parameters in config file, training on 1801 images for training and 200 for validations, with a single class. I have trained for 27 hours. And up to now the avg loss not yet converge to 0.xxxxx

Also, due to GPU memory issue, the value of random=0, should i set it in all three layer? or just in the last layer as it shown my whole configuration file as shown in 1.

Config are the following:

[net]
# Testing
batch=64
subdivisions=64
# Training
# batch=64
# subdivisions=16
width=288
height=288
channels=3
momentum=0.9
decay=0.0005
angle=0
saturation = 1.5
exposure = 1.5
hue=.1

learning_rate=0.001
burn_in=1000
max_batches = 500200
policy=steps
steps=400000,450000
scales=.1,.1

Is there any advice to improve it, or it is ok.

1. The following are the configurations:

momentum=0.9
decay=0.0005
angle=0
saturation = 1.5
exposure = 1.5
hue=.1

learning_rate=0.001
burn_in=1000
max_batches = 500200
policy=steps

• You can set random=0 only in the last layer.
• Did you check your dataset by using https://github.com/AlexeyAB/Yolo_mark
• Can you show examples of your images in the dataset?
• What mAP can you get?
