  "content": "<p>If you are using kaggle kernels(like me) to train, I recommend to have your model train at what is night for the U.S. I guess there's less load on kaggle's servers and the training is significantly faster(2-3x for training in my scenario).\nAnother tip is to use an inference kernel like so many public kernels have done, no need to retrain your model and it's better to save models locally(or thru a kernel output).\nAlso, if you want to train models for a long time but want to check progress(which you cant do in committed kernels), you can just train in the draft session and just use some nifty html to download your model from there. The downside is that you will have to keep a tab of your machine open(for the draft session)\nEdit: Also, for testing, follow the advice here: <a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/c/aptos2019-blindness-detection/discussion/98879#latest-574594\">https://www.kaggle.com/c/aptos2019-blindness-detection/discussion/98879#latest-574594</a></p>",
