Which accuracies to report in this case?












0












$begingroup$


I am new to ML research and to writing ML paper.



An ML research project resulted in a family of algorithms $A_i$. These algorithms transform certain type of data. This data is fed into a neural network $B$. The $B$ trained on data transformed by $A_i$ often outperforms the B trained on original data.



However, often the behaviour of test and train accuracy functions is a bit strange: the accuracy continues to rise for some time after the lowest train loss is reached.



Another problem is that for some datasets $B$ trains on transformed data in very few (often less than 10) epochs, and then the accuracy drops. But if learning rate is decreased, the network does not learn nearly as well.



Original paper of $B$ used one of the 10-fold splits to estimate the required number of epochs (usually several hundred), and the remaining 9 splits were used to compute test accuracy.



Which accuracies should I report?



Any other suggestions are welcome.
