Training the model

Training the model

- [Instructor] After collecting our data and creating our project's Impulse, the next step is training the learning model. Let's go to Edge Impulse to see how this works. We're back on the project dashboard. There's one thing we need to address in our dataset before we start training. To see this, go to the Data acquisition tab. At the top, it shows how much data has been collected. In our case, three minutes and 21 seconds. Then it shows something called the train/test split. Right now, 100% of our data is tagged for training. Usually, you reserve some of your data for testing your model after training. The test data isn't included in training, so it's a good measure of your model's accuracy. A common balance is to have 80% of your data used for training and 20% for testing. Notice there's a warning symbol next to the train/test split. Hovering over that, we see a notification that points out the problem and suggests clicking on it for help rebalancing the dataset.
