When to stop training neural networks?
问题 I'm trying to carry out a domain-specific classification research using RNN and have accumulated tens of millions of texts. Since it takes days and even months to run the whole dataset over, I only picked a small portion of it for testing, say 1M texts (80% for training, 20% for validation). I pre-trained the whole corpus with word vectorization and I also applied Dropout to the model to avoid over-fitting. When it trained 60000 text within 12 hrs, the loss had already dropped to a fairly low
