4.2 Guiding Principles

1. tf.data for Everything: Never use numpy arrays directly for large datasets
2. @tf.function for Training: Compile training step for 2-5x speedup
3. Callbacks Over Manual Logic: Checkpoint, early stop, tensorboard, LR scheduler
4. Mixed Precision by Default: Enable on Ampere+ GPUs for memory and speed gains
5. Export SavedModel Last: Always end with model.export() or model.save()

§ 8 · Troubleshooting

8.1 Common Training Issues

Phase 1: Diagnose
├── TensorBoard → Check loss curves, gradient norms
├── GPU utilization → nvidia-smi; profile data pipeline
└── model.summary() → Verify layer shapes and trainable params

Phase 2: Fix
├── Slow data loading → Add prefetch, parallel map
├── NaN losses → Gradient clipping (clipnorm=1.0); reduce LR
├── Overfitting → Add Dropout, L2 regularization; data augmentation
└── Underfitting → Increase model capacity; longer training; better features
