*GPU training times (NVIDIA RTX 3060). CPU training is 3-5x slower.

GPU Support

The models automatically detect and use available GPUs:

• NVIDIA CUDA - Best performance
• Apple Silicon (MPS) - Good performance on M1/M2/M3 Macs
• CPU - Fallback (slower but works everywhere)

Troubleshooting

Out of Memory

If you get OOM errors:

# Reduce batch size
python main.py --train-dl --dl-batch-size 16

# Or reduce sample size
python main.py --train-dl --sample-size 20000

Slow Training

If training is too slow:

# Use smaller embeddings
python main.py --train-dl --use-embeddings \
  --embedding-name glove-wiki-gigaword-100

# Or train only one framework
python main.py --train-dl --dl-framework pytorch

Models Not Showing in Dashboard

1. Check that models are in models/dl/ directory
2. Restart the Streamlit dashboard
3. Clear cache: Press 'C' in dashboard, then 'Clear cache'

API Integration

Deep learning models are also available via the REST API:

# List available models
curl http://localhost:8000/models

# Predict with DL model (coming soon)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/predict \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "This product is amazing!",
    "model": "cnn_pytorch_pretrained"
  }'

Best Practices

For Best Accuracy

1. Use GloVe 300d embeddings
2. Train on full dataset (50K+ samples)
3. Use 20-25 epochs with early stopping
4. Ensemble multiple models

For Fast Prototyping

1. Use GloVe 100d embeddings
2. Sample 10-20K reviews
3. Use 10 epochs
4. Train only one framework

For Production

1. Use pre-trained embeddings (smaller model size)
2. Choose TensorFlow CNN (better deployment support)
3. Save model with specific version
4. Monitor inference latency

Next Steps

• Fine-tune DistilBERT: python main.py --train-transformer
• Custom Architecture: Modify src/dl_models.py
• Hyperparameter Tuning: Experiment with filter sizes, dropout rates
