Abstract

Learning models used for prediction purposes are mostly developed without paying much cognizance to the size of datasets that can produce models of high accuracy and better generalization.Although, the general believe is that, large dataset is needed to construct a predictive learning model.To describe a data set as large in size, perhaps, is circumstance dependent, thus, what constitutes a dataset to be considered as being big or small is vague.In this paper, the ability of the predictive model to generalize with respect to a particular size of data when simulated with new untrained input is examined.The study experiments on three different sizes of data using Matlab program to create predictive models with a view to establishing if the size of data has any effect on the accuracy of a model.The simulated output of each model is measured using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and comparisons are made.Findings from this study reveals that, the quantity of data partitioned for the purpose of training must be of good representation of the entire sets and sufficient enough to span through the input space.The results of simulating the three network models also shows that, the learning model with the largest size of training sets appears to be the most accurate and consistently delivers a much better and stable results.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Several sources state that a dataset of 1000 images per class is required to successfully train a neural network.

    “Several sources state that a dataset of 1000 images per class is required to successfully train a neural network [74,78-80].”

    From Automated Defect Detection and Decision-Support in Gas Turbine Blade Inspection (2021) · cites this paper as [79]

    The Experimental Results (page unavailable) compare neural-network models built with 400, 800, and 1200 data points, and the Conclusions say that sufficient data can improve accuracy. The paper does not discuss images per class or state that 1000 per class is required for successful training; it reports that all three models trained well. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
