The time distributed model was retrained since the StepLR did not run as intended, meaning the learning rate was not cut in half at epoch 3 in the prior run. Using a lower learning rate at this point is also useful since this is the epoch at which the backbone is unfrozen with a learning rate of 1/100 of the head.
This yields to a 4 point gain in macro f1 and a slight bump in top 1 accuracy as well (which is smaller given that the improvement comes for less common species, not blanks).
This model will replace the previous time distributed model.
Additional notes:
auto_lr_find
(with a workaround, not onmaster
). This yielded 0.001096, essentially the same learning rate as the default (0.001). This is reassuring in that the default seems to generalize well for various batch sizes at least when training from scratch.
