Epochs issue

[Kishore-Dev-bit]

Hi, why it is taking 1hours time to complete One Epoch , if it takes one hour for each epoch , to complete the 20 epochs it takes 20-hours time right. so any logical error do we have here ?

Hi @Kishore-Dev-bit, basically one epoch means that each sample in the training dataset has had an opportunity to update the internal model parameters or we can say weights. If you have a very large dataset and specially if you are working with Image classification then one epoch might take time, but in your case it is taking about one hour, it means you don't have any GPU on which your neural network will train.
