Epoch and Batch

In deep learning, an epoch is a complete pass through the training dataset, affecting model accuracy and requiring careful tuning to avoid underfitting or overfitting. Batch size, the number of training examples processed in one iteration, impacts training time and model performance, with larger sizes speeding up training but risking accuracy, while smaller sizes may enhance generalization. The relationship between epochs and batch size determines the number of iterations needed to complete an epoch, calculated as the total number of samples divided by the batch size.

Understand

ing Epoch
and Batch
Size in
Deep
Learning
What is an
Epoch?
In deep learning, an epoch refers to a
single pass of the entire training
dataset through the neural network.
During an epoch, the network
processes all the training examples
once, calculates the loss, and updates
the weights and biases of the model
based on the error. The number of
epochs is a hyperparameter that can
be tuned to improve the accuracy of
the model.
Why is epoch
important?
Epoch is important because it affects
the accuracy of the model. Too few
epochs can lead to underfitting,
where the model is not able to learn
the patterns in the data. Too many
epochs can lead to overfitting,
where the model becomes too
specialized to the training data and
is not able to generalize to new data.
What is batch
size?
Batch size refers to the number of training
examples utilized in one iteration. In deep
learning, the data is typically too large to
process all at once, so it is divided into
smaller batches. The batch size is a
hyperparameter that can be tuned to
improve model performance and training
time. A larger batch size can lead to faster
training times but may result in less accurate
models, while a smaller batch size may result
in more accurate models but slower training
times.
How to choose batch
size?
The batch size should be chosen
based on the available memory of
the hardware being used. A larger
batch size will require more memory
and may not fit on smaller hardware.
However, a smaller batch size may
lead to slower convergence and
longer training times. It is
recommended to try different batch
sizes and evaluate the model
performance to determine the
optimal batch size.
Impact of batch
size
In deep learning, batch size refers to the number of training examples used in one
iteration. It is an important hyperparameter that can impact model performance. In
this analysis, we examine the impact of batch size on model performance.
• Effect on Training Time
Larger batch sizes can result in faster training times, as the model is updated less
frequently. However, smaller batch sizes may allow for more accurate updates to
the model weights, resulting in better performance in the long run.
• Effect on Model Generalization
Smaller batch sizes can help the model to generalize better to new data, as they
allow for more diverse examples to be included in each iteration. Larger batch sizes
may result in overfitting to the training data and poorer generalization
performance.
Bath and epoch
relation
The number of iterations per epoch is
determined by the dataset size and the
batch size. For instance, if you have 1,000
samples and a batch size of 100, it will
take 10 iterations to complete one epoch
(as 1,000 / 100 = 10).
Mathematically, the number of batches
per epoch can be calculated as:
Number of batches=Total number of sam
ples/Batch size
