    Answer it

    I am trying to classify some video into 3 different classes. Each video has different length of frame. The training data has the shape of (104, None, 528) where: 

     

     - 104 = Number of videos
     - None = number of frames for each video which are different
     - 528 = Number of features for each frame

     

    As the sequence of frames for each video is long I am using "stateful LSTM" to manage the length of sequences. I have defined my model same as below:

     

        def LSTM_Model():
        
        model = Sequential()
        model.add(LSTM(units = 256, input_shape=(None, 528),\
                               return_sequences=False, stateful=True, batch_size = 1))
        model.add(Dropout(0.4))
        model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax'))
        opt = keras.optimizers.SGD(lr=0.00005, decay = 1e-6, momentum=0.9, nesterov=True)
        model.compile(loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', optimizer = opt, metrics = ['accuracy'])
        model.summary()
        
        return model

     Then I trained the model:

       

        def train_model(X, y, X_test, y_test, model):
            np.random.seed(200)
            epochs = 100
            maxlen = 500
        
            
            for epoch in range(epochs):
                
                mean_tr_loss, mean_tr_acc =[],[]
                print('Epoch: ', epoch + 1 )
                
                for sbj in range(X.shape[0]):
                    
                    video = X[sbj]
                    y_sbj = y[sbj,:]
                    y_new = y_sbj
                    nb_frame = video.shape[0]
        
                    for count in range(nb_frame // maxlen +1):
                        
                        if count == nb_frame // maxlen :
                            seq = video[count*maxlen + count:, :]
        
                        else:
                            seq = video[count*maxlen+count : (count+1)*maxlen+count, :]
                            seq = np.expand_dims(seq, axis=0)
                            
              #   ''' Using train_on_batch '''
                            
                            tr_loss, tr_acc = model.train_on_batch(seq, np.array([y_new])) 
                            mean_tr_loss.append(tr_loss)
                            mean_tr_acc.append(tr_acc)
       
        
                    print('Training on subject', sbj+1, 'done' )
                    model.reset_states() 
        

                print('accuracy training = {}'.format(np.mean(mean_tr_acc)))
                print('loss training = {}'.format(np.mean(mean_tr_loss)))
                print('___________________________________')
                

            
                print('Testing....')
                

                mean_te_loss, mean_te_acc =[],[]
            
                for sbj_test in range(X_test.shape[0]):
                    
                    video_test = X_test[sbj_test]
                    y_new_test = y_test[sbj_test]
                    nb_frame_test = video_test.shape[0]
                    
                    for i in range(nb_frame_test // maxlen + 1):
                        
                        if i == nb_frame_test // maxlen :
                            seq_test = video_test[i*maxlen + i:, :]
                        else:
                            seq_test = video_test[i*maxlen+i : (i+1)*maxlen+i, :]
                            seq_test = np.expand_dims(seq_test, axis=0)
                            te_loss, te_acc = model.test_on_batch(seq_test, np.array([y_new_test])) 
                            mean_te_loss.append(te_loss)
                            mean_te_acc.append(te_acc)                
                    print('Testing on subject', sbj_test+1, 'done' )
                    model.reset_states()   
                     
        

                print('accuracy testing = {}'.format(np.mean(mean_te_acc)))
                print('loss testing = {}'.format(np.mean(mean_te_loss)))

     
            

    In the above code I considered each video separately and then each video was divided to different frame sequences with length 500 (except last sequence frame for each video because the length of frames are not divisible by 500). The training accuracy and test accuracy are same as below.

        Epoch1 : accuracy training = 0.3694     accuracy testing = 0.3927
                 loss training = 1.146          loss testing = 1.109
        Epoch2 : accuracy training = 0.4423     accuracy testing = 0.4048
                 loss training = 1.053          loss testing = 1.109
        Epoch3 : accuracy training = 0.5017     accuracy testing = 0.4236
                 loss training = 0.994          loss testing = 1.115
        Epoch4 : accuracy training = 0.5491     accuracy testing = 0.4099
                 loss training = 0.94           loss testing = 1.124
        Epoch5: accuracy training = 0.5612      accuracy testing = 0.4013
                loss training = 0.924           loss testing = 1.128
        Epoch6 : accuracy training = 0.6142     accuracy testing = 0.4113
                 loss training = 0.859          loss testing = 1.137
        Epoch7 : accuracy training = 0.6263     accuracy testing = 0.4116
                 loss training = 0.824          loss testing = 1.142
        Epoch8 : accuracy training = 0.6659     accuracy testing = 0.415
                 loss training = 0.775          loss testing = 1.152

     

    After 100 epochs training accuracy increases while testing accuracy doesn't improve. If the case is "overfitting" adding dropout layer should help which didn't. So, I am confused about the cause. 

    Any idea or suggestion would be appreciated.
