Sudden drop in accuracy while training a deep neural net
<p>I am using mxnet to train a 11-class image classifier. I am observing a weird behavior training accuracy was increasing slowly and went upto 39% and in next epoch it went down to 9% and then it stays close to 9% for rest of the training.
I restarted the training with saved model (with 39% training accuracy) keeping all other parameter same . Now training accuracy is increasing again. What can be the reason here ? I am not able to understand it . And its getting difficult to train the model this way as it requires me to see training accuracy values constantly.</p>

<p>learning rate is constant at 0.01</p>
