Batch size: go big or go home? Counterintuitive improvement in medical autoencoders with smaller batch size
Nov. 13, 2022—Cailey I. Kerley*, Leon Y. Cai*, Yucheng Tang, Lori L. Beason-Held, Susan M. Resnick, Laurie E. Cutting, and Bennett A. Landman. *Equal first authorship Abstract Batch size is a key hyperparameter in training deep learning models. Conventional wisdom suggests larger batches produce improved model performance. Here we present evidence to the contrary, particularly when using autoencoders...
