How many steps to train ?

[mohammedayub44]

Hi @solaris33,
I'm using your setup to train on the ICDAR dataset link you have provided. I ran it to about a 1000 steps initially to see if I get any bounding boxes. The loss is not decreasing so much, I'm I doing something wrong here or 1000 steps is too less
When run the eval on 1000'th checkpoint I don't get any boxes with the default thresholds in place, when I reduce the score_map_thresh =0.5 I start to get too many irrelevant boxes.

So my question is how many steps do I have to train to eventually start seeing good eval results with the default thresholds in place ?

Thanks !

Hi.

I set default train step 100,000 (https://github.com/solaris33/EAST-tf2/blob/master/train.py#L17) and use it for example images(https://github.com/solaris33/EAST-tf2/tree/master/examples)

I think at least 50,000 step need to relevant prediction result and loss is meaningless signal (it doesn't decrease after amount of step)

Thanks!

Does 50000 step are enough for this model to perform the best and i have just started the training process for start
