Manage Experiments - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)
Train networks under multiple initial conditions, interactively tune training options, and evaluate your results
Use the Experiment Manager app to find optimal training options for neural networks by sweeping through a range of hyperparameter values or by using Bayesian optimization. Use the built-in function trainnet or define your own custom training function. Monitor your progress by using training plots. Use confusion matrices and custom metric functions to evaluate your trained network.
This page contains information about experiments for your AI workflows. For general information about using the app, see Experiment Manager.
