I want to fix the weights of the model I'm training to get reproducible results for the report. The problem is that on different runs I get similar but slightly different results and training sometimes takes 600 epochs, sometimes takes 3500 using callback_early_stopping monitoring validation MSE and with min_delta of 0.00003.
Overall, I'm happy enough with results of all runs, but just need to find if there's a way to get reproducible results by fixing weights.
I tried setting seed at various parts of the process - before creating model, before compiling it and before training but nothing seems to work. Any way to do it?
BATCH <- nrow(x_train)
SHAPE <- ncol(x_train)
# Create a neural network model
set.seed(42)
model <- keras_model_sequential()
model %>%
layer_dense(units = 12, activation = "relu", input_shape = c(SHAPE)) %>%
layer_dense(units = 24, activation = "relu") %>%
layer_dense(units = 1, activation = "linear")
#print model summary
print(summary(model))
# initialise early stopping callback and optimiser
early_stoping <- callback_early_stopping(
monitor = "val_loss",
min_delta = 0.00003,
patience = 50,
restore_best_weights = TRUE
)
optim <- optimizer_adam(learning_rate = 0.00005)
set.seed(42)
model %>% compile(
optimizer = optim,
loss = "mse",
metrics = c("mse", "mae")
)
# fit model
set.seed(42)
val_data <- list(x_val = x_val, y_val = y_val)
hist <- model %>% fit(
x = x_train,
y = y_train,
batch_size = BATCH,
epochs = 6000,
validation_data = val_data,
shuffle = FALSE,
callbacks = early_stoping
)
