@Oli
thanks for the reply.,
well i wanted to train the network from scratch to address the kind of problems one can run into while training such networks , and hence dint use pretrained networks. Also make you aware of my training dataset , i am using wider face dataset to train my network where i am using 5000 instances of images for training , but it only has 4 instances which does not contains any face in it. DO you think this is crux of the overfitting problem ?
And by benchmarking do you mean by what is my accuracy metrics?
thanks
