pythonで機械学習が進まない

Question

pythonで以下のようなコードをかき、以下の記事を参考に機械学習させたのですが、正答率（acc)が７割前後で止まってしまいます。

'''
#Train a simple deep CNN on the CIFAR10 small images dataset.

It gets to 75% validation accuracy in 25 epochs, and 79% after 50 epochs.
(it's still underfitting at that point, though).

何が原因なのか、対策法は何か、教えていただけると幸いです。

Answer 1

It gets to 75% validation accuracy in 25 epochs, and 79% after 50 epochs.

0.7前後なら、そんなものでは？　エポックを回しすぎると過学習が進んで性能が落ちることがあるので注意が必要です。25と50のときの数字を見ましょう。

参考記事は2群分類で、しかも色を見て見分ければいいという単純なタスクなので、同列に比較できません（このタスクの場合、ほぼ1の正解率まで上げるのはかなり困難です）。

ありがとうございます！
だいたい７割前後が最適だったとは！
