New model drop...🥁

FROSTING LANE REDUX

The v1 of this model was released during a big model push, so I think it got lost in the shuffle. I revisited it for a project and realized it wasn't inventive enough around certain concepts, so I decided to retrain.

I think the original model was really strong on it's own, but because it was trained on fewer images I found that it was producing a very lackluster range of facial expressions, so I wanted to improve that.

The hardest part of creating models like this, I find, is maintaining the detailed linework without without overfitting. It takes a really balanced dataset and I repeat the data 12 times during the process, stopping at the last 10-20 epochs.

It is very difficult to predict the exact amount of time needed, so for me it is crucial to do epoch stops. Every model has a different threshold for ideal success.
