The validation accuracy of my 1D CNN is stuck on 0.5 and that's because I'm always getting the same prediction out of a balanced data set. At the same time my training accuracy keeps increasing and the loss decreasing as intended.
Strangely, if I do model.evaluate() on my training set (that has close to 1 accuracy in the last epoch), the accuracy will also be 0.5. How can the accuracy here differ so much from the training accuracy of the last epoch? I've also tried with a batch size of 1 for both training and evaluating and the problem persists.
Well, I've been searching for different solutions for quite some time but still no luck. Possible problems I've already looked into:
- My data set is properly balanced and shuffled;
- My labels are correct;
- Tried adding fully connected layers;
- Tried adding/removing dropout from the fully connected layers;
- Tried the same architecture, but with the last layer with 1 neuron and sigmoid activation;
- Tried changing the learning rates (went down to 0.0001 but still the same problem).
