Number of epochs in fit generator

#1

What is the significance of number of epochs in fit generator??Please explain.

hey @Ankit003 ,
Like the way in Linear Regression we provide number of iterations to achieve the optimum value or local maxima/minima ,the same way in deep learning to reach convergence we need to iterate over the data for a given number of iterations so that our weights in such a way that they are able to become more generalized on the data and provide us with better performance on the test data , something they haven’t seen while training.

I hope this helps you understand the significance of number of epochs.
Thank You and Happy Learning :slightly_smiling_face:.
