Difference in accuracy in FC-DNN on different run

I have been facing an issue of instability in deep neural networks. For example, while using DNN with fully connected layers (3 layers, 128 memory units in each), I am having a range of unweighted accuracy of 62% to 66% in the different runs (yes, the same train and test set). I used Xavier initializer and bias initializer as zero. All the other parameters are also fixed.



Have anyone faced such problems? I have tried to use fixed seed too, but it doesn't seem to help. Kinda puzzled about what is creating this instability.



Thanks in advance :)

  • This is completely normal, and its due to the random weight initialization.
