Keras Loss Value Extremely High + Prediction Result same












0












$begingroup$


All the Keras Deep Learning tutorials feature an already wrapped image dataset, and there's just one load method to load it all.



I have a set of images and a corresponding csv file for targets of those images. I can't use the Image Data Generator as it's a regression problem and not a labeling one. So I made a custom numpy array of the following:




  • a numpy array of (448, 448, 3) images


  • a numpy array of corresponding target numbers



When this is fed into the model, I face no error/ exception. Except the output looks ridiculously bad. The loss encountered is extremely high (in thousands), and the data really does not look so incoherent. Maybe it's the model. Here's the description:



Sequential with 2 Conv2D Layers (64, 32), flattened it to feed to a Dense layer of 16 and 8, and then one final Dense layer with 1 output node with no activation function (because, regression). [Also tried to scale the image values to [0,1], but no luck.]



As a noob in this domain, I have no idea where to begin to know where I could be going wrong. If it's the way I'm loading up the data, can anyone guide me to how to go about with that. Thanks.



Just Observed:



The target test values are in the range 1 - 15 with whole numbers as the target value. The predictions are all the same, with a value around 0.00065. What could be the reason for this behaviour?
