TensorBoard
I am new to machine learning. I am trying to train a hand detection model using Tensorflow Object Detection API. I am using Ego hands Dataset. There are 4400 images in train and 400 in test. I am using Tensorflow 1.15. I am pretty much following sentdex tutorial with some changes. I am using ssd_mobilenet_v2_coco from model zoo.
The loss is between 1-2 after 5000 steps. Now its nearly 20000 steps and loss is still between 1-2. Is it normal or not? and should I train more?
Here's my config file if you want to take a look at it.
# SSD with Mobilenet v2 configuration for MSCOCO Dataset.
# Users should configure the fine_tune_checkpoint field in the train config as
# well as the label_map_path and input_path fields in the train_input_reader and
# eval_input_reader. Search for "PATH_TO_BE_CONFIGURED" to find the fields that
# should be configured.
