The first time I tried training a convolutional neural network myself, I lost track of what changes made the network better or worse. I was overwhelmed by the number of decisions I had to make and the infinite possibilities that I had to explore.
I now use pipelines to experiment with different scenarios, and mind maps to see what I have tried and what else I can try.
In this article, I will talk about how I use pipelines and mind maps for training convolutional neural networks, using the German Traffic Sign…
