Parameter Analysis

Embedding Size

The embedding size is the hyperparameter that most affects the model’s fundamental logic, so let’s look at performance as a fufnction of it:

Iteration Completion

How many iterations, on average, did we complete?

How did the metric progress in the best result?

How did the metric progress in the longest results?
