Using LSTM stateful for passing context b/w batches; may be some error in context passing, not getting good results?
I have checked the data before giving it to the network. The data is correct.
Using LSTM and passing the context b/w batches. per_class_accuracy is changing, but the loss is not going down. Been stuck for long, not sure if there is an error in the Code?
I have multi-class classification problem based upon an imbalanced dataset
Dataset_type: CSV
Dataset_size: 20000
Based upon CSV data of sensors
X = 0.6986111111111111,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0
Y = leaveHouse
Per class accuracy:
{'leaveHouse': 0.34932855, 'getDressed': 1.0, 'idle': 0.8074534, 'prepareBreakfast': 0.8, 'goToBed': 0.35583413, 'getDrink': 0.0, 'takeShower': 1.0, 'useToilet': 0.0, 'eatBreakfast': 0.8857143}

One problem you might have is CrossEntropyLoss combines a log softmax operation with negative log likelihood loss, but you're applying a softmax in your model. You should pass the raw logits out of the final layer to CrossEntropyLoss.

Also I an't say without seeing the models forward pass, but it looks like you're applying the softmax on dimension 1 to a tensor that (I'm inferring) has shape batch_size, sequence_length, output_dim, when you should be applying it along the output dim.
