I’ve noticed that most of the examples and most of my models result in train_loss > valid_loss. What are the best ways to correct that?

I should add that this still happens after trying many variations on # of epochs and lr

Ooops initially misread your > symbol. train > valid is a sign of underfitting and most likely you could train for another epoch or so.

actually I’ve run 16-24 epochs in some cases and it rarely seems to get there (meaning to train_loss < valid_loss. I’m referring mainly to lesson 2

You should try increasing your learning rate. It must be too small.

nope I’ve tried many learning rates also

The FileDeleter still exist in the new library version?

I was running lesson 2 (download images notebook) with the new fastai version and got this error. Does anyone has any idea?

I think it is called ImageDeleter now

What version of FastAI are you running?

Questions about nlp Imdb notebook
1- Let’s say I have already prepared train and valid datasets? how to pass them to tokenizer/numericalizer?
2- How to set a different language to the Tokenizer? Like lang=”pt”?

Is there a suggested way to to prediction on batches of images? Not from the web but just scripted?

But I think @rrmphal is looking for a code repo to contribute.

Is the recommendation for Andrew Ng’s original Coursera course or the new @ deeplearning.ai or both?

The fastai ML course covers random forest in detail…can we expect ML part2 covering GBMs?
