#Need help with training a UNet to identify the grade of cancer in images

Hello. I am currently training a UNet to segment areas of cancer (by Gleason grade) in histology images. I am stuck because my model is overfitting a lot and doesn't seem to make much progress. I have tried adding more data, checking the data that I currently have, and class balancing the data. None of this has improved the model, and I'm not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any advice? The graphs from my latest run are below.

Maeby try some data augmentation. For example flip and rotations.

You could also try lowering the learning rate

and are you sure the problem is indeed overfitting ?

helps for faster convergence and better learning

#

another thing that might help is preprocessing your images. Idk what images you have, but some sort of filters / edge detection etc might help draw out the features more

#

which will also help the model learn

I’ve had that problem once before. ChatGPT said it could be normal and caused by things like dropout.

what is "accuracy"
it would be helpful to know what your loss function is
