How to potty train a Siamese Network – Towards Data Science

Time for an update on my One-Shot learning approach using a Siamese LSTM-based Deep Neural Network we developed for telecommunication network fault identification through traffic analysis. A lot of small details had to change as we upgraded our machine to the latest TensorFlow and Keras. That alone introduced a few new behaviors… As well as we obtained new data for new examples and found out some problems with our model. I don't intend to go through all changes, but some of the main ones as well as some interesting findings. It feels a lot like potty training a cat… If you are new to this series, you can refer to my previous posts: "Do Telecom Networks Dreams of Siamese Memories?" and "What Siamese Dreams are made of…" First, Batch Normalization in Keras is now on my black magic list .
