Live coding 11

Oh wow, Sarada, this is wonderful! :partying_face: My first ever Kaggle Notebook gold! :1st_place_medal: Earned with the help of our amazing community! :heart: It couldn’t get better than this! :smile:

Thank you so very much for making this happen and my heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed their votes :slightly_smiling_face:

And thank you so much for your very kind words! I continue to learn a lot from everyone here. It was wonderful to see you today in the walk-through today, Sarada!!! :slightly_smiling_face:

BTW what surprises me quite a bit is the number of medals in discussions. I can barely remember talking online that much :smile: But oh well, if there is a record to prove it, I guess it must have happened :slight_smile:

Thank you so very much again everyone for this wonderful surprise! :slight_smile: :heart:

Something peculiar I noticed on Paperspace today is that I was getting a very long error when creating the data loader with the same exact code that worked on a different machine yesterday.

I tried restarting the kernel but got the same error. Then I stopped the machine (P5000) and started a new RTX4000 machine and ran the same exact notebook and the same code ran without error. No idea why but seems there a problem somewhere.

i had the same error… by reducing the size (in a hunch) of the aug_transforms, that error went away….(both on P5000)

There are 19 people on the same score as me in the Paddy competition now. Is the order arbitrary or in order of submission when scores are the same?

The order looks random to me. You are doing a good job. :slight_smile:

I always thought it’s ordered by submission time if score is same …

The time here could be of the last submission which not necessarily is the best one i think…
Edit: i meant that if you submit a solution kaggle records a time of it, if it’s your the best scoe, the score and hopefully position gets updated on leaderboard. However if score is lower than best, only submission time is recorded.

Ok, I had the same on my local computer. Could you check my full trace and compare it to yours?
Mine disappears when I run the same line again. It is weird.

Is there are generally accepted description for the type of multiple target model you started to build today Jeremy? It’s not multi-modal because we are only using images for training. Would this be correctly referred to as a multi-head model?

I’m not sure I’ve really heard them being given a name before! That description you linked to seems close enough, however.

Although as you’ll see tomorrow I’ve come up with a much simpler approach…

How can we get the sweep ids from the wandb experimentation? I’m running sweep.py to generate the data for the analysis.py as Jeremy did. I don’t know how to construct the sweep id for creating dictionaries for the dataframe? Any hint? Thanks.

I really like using the lsof command for this category of issues.

lsof -i :4321 # gets the process that "opened" the port number 4321

Pretty handy with hunting down (process that) occupied local ports, locked/opened files etc., lsof (list open files) does a lot more & is included with most distros.

Adding the blogpost mentioned by Jeremy about the experiments on the topic 31:30 - Brute force hyperparameter optimisation vs human approach.

Ohh, I can help you with that on the live session on Friday 24. I updated the Readme to make it more clear.

That would be great. Would you please share the link to the live session on 24th. Thanks.

It is 1am UK time but I’ll try my best. If the session is recorded that’d be helpful in case I can’t make it. Thanks.

10am CET should be 9am UK time.

My bad. Thanks for the clarity. Then I can make it. See you in the meetup.

25:05 - Why does Jeremy have to rerun the sweep experiment?

cropping is in fact usually better than squish for Resize, not the other way round.

26:00 - Why using WandB API with Jupyter notebook is so much better for Jeremy?

Does the parallel coordinates chart on wandb actually worth our attention for examining the experiment results? No, unfortunately

31:30 - Why Jeremy’s approach to hyperparameter optimisation is more practical and benefitical than brute force

Who taught WandB hyperparameter optimization?

Did Jeremy used hyperparameter optimization method once and just for finding the best value of dropout?

32:33 What’s Jeremy’s human driven approach to hyperparameter?

Why you don’t have to do a grid search for hyperparameters?

What does Jeremy do to make the human driven approach efficient and effective?

How does Jeremy accumulate knowledge of deep learning through these experiments?

What’s the terrible drawback or downside of doing brute force hyperparameter optimizations?

34:51 Do many hyperparameter values Jeremy found through experiments applicable to different architectures/models/datasets?

Is there some exceptions? yes, tabular dataset

It’s crazy that no one have done serious experiments to figure out the best hyperparameters for vision problems in segmentation, bounding boxes, etc

49:51 Why does Jeremy focus on the final error-rate differ from tta result for each model?

tta is what Jeremy use in the end, final error-rate of training is for reference I think.
