please describe this step based on the following informations 4.6.1 Training the model from the
scratch As indicated in chapter one, section 1.6.5, two methods—training from scratch and
transfer learning—are established in this work. Three layers, including convolutional layers,
max- pooling layers, activation function and fully connected layers, make up the proposed model
(i.e., training from scratch). 224 x 224 x 3 pictures are the input to the first convolution layer.
There are four parameters needed for the convolution procedure. The first parameter is how
many filters are used to regulate the output volume's depth. The researcher has applied 32, 64,
64, 128, and 256 filters in this model. The convolution layers and filters with the highest
accuracy are chosen after testing various numbers of each. The size of each filter (kernel) is
determined by the second parameter, the receptive field size, which is almost usually square. At a
single layer, the researcher has applied 3 x 3 and 5 x 5 filter sizes. A 5 × 5 filter size can identify
a distinguishing feature that a 3 x 3 filter size is unable to. The third option, called stride size,
controls how many pixels are skipped each time we do a convolution operation (both
horizontally and vertically). Therefore, the researcher's stride size was one (1, 1). The last
(fourth) option determines how much zero padding will be utilized to restrict the output's size.
The researcher has used “same” padding, which means the size of the output is equal to the size
of the input if the stride size is one. Train the Model Use training data Use validation data to
monitor overfitting Track accuracy and loss

Based on the provided technical description and objectives, here's a detailed explanation of the
step "Training the model from scratch" for identifying diseases in sorghum crops using a deep
learning approach:
4.6.1 Training the Model from Scratch
As discussed in Section 1.6.5, this study explores two core methodologies for model
development: training from scratch and transfer learning. In this section, we describe the
approach of training a deep learning model from scratch, which involves building and
optimizing a custom neural network architecture tailored specifically for sorghum leaf disease
classification.
Model Architecture
The deep learning model trained from scratch is composed of several key layers:
1. Convolutional Layers
2. Max-Pooling Layers
3. Activation Function
4. Fully Connected (Dense) Layers
The input to the first layer is an image of size 224 x 224 x 3, where:
224 x 224 represents the height and width in pixels,
3 indicates the RGB color channels.
Convolution Operation Parameters
The convolution process within the CNN is controlled by four critical parameters:
1. Number of Filters (Output Depth)
Each convolutional layer includes a set of filters (also called kernels) that learn spatial features
from the input image. The number of filters directly determines the depth of the output feature
map. After empirical evaluation, the researcher selected the following filter sizes per layer:
32, 64, 64, 128, and 256 filters
These were chosen after testing various configurations, and those yielding the highest
classification accuracy were retained.
2. Filter Size (Receptive Field)
The receptive field (kernel size) defines the spatial dimensions of each filter. This model uses
two kernel sizes:
3 × 3 and 5 × 5
The 5 × 5 filter size captures broader, more abstract features, which a 3 × 3 filter may not. This
combination enables the model to recognize both fine and coarse-grained patterns in sorghum
leaves.
3. Stride
The stride parameter controls the number of pixels the filter moves over the input during
convolution. For this model:
Stride = (1, 1)
This means the filter shifts one pixel at a time, ensuring detailed scanning of the input image
without skipping information.
4. Padding
Padding determines whether and how the spatial dimensions of the output feature map are
preserved after convolution. This model uses:
Padding = "same"
This setting ensures that the output of the convolutional layers has the same dimensions as the
input when stride is one, which helps in preserving edge and boundary information in the leaf
images.
Model Training Process
After designing and building the model architecture, the training process involves:
1. Feeding Training Data
The model is trained using a labeled dataset of sorghum leaf images, each corresponding
to a specific disease or a healthy class.
Images are preprocessed (resized, normalized) to match the input size (224 x 224 x 3).
2. Validation for Overfitting Monitoring
A portion of the dataset is reserved as validation data.
During training, the model's performance on this unseen data is monitored to detect signs
of overfitting — when the model performs well on training data but poorly on validation
data.
3. Tracking Metrics
Key metrics like accuracy and loss are tracked throughout the training process.
These metrics guide learning rate adjustments and other hyperparameters to improve
model generalization.
✅ Summary
The model trained from scratch is a fully custom-designed convolutional neural network (CNN)
optimized for sorghum disease classification. Its architecture, including the number and size of
filters, strides, and padding, was empirically fine-tuned to extract both low-level and high-level
features from the leaf images. The training process incorporates both training and validation
datasets to optimize performance while minimizing overfitting.

ChatGPT said:
Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of Step 4: Train the Model, broken down into its core
components, with emphasis on training, validation, and performance monitoring — all crucial
for building an effective deep learning model for sorghum crop disease detection.
🔧 Step 4: Train the Model
Once the model architecture is defined (as described in the previous step), the next phase is to
train the model, meaning we allow it to learn from the data through an optimization process.
The goal of training is to minimize the difference between the model’s predictions and the actual
labels (i.e., disease classes), so that the model can correctly classify new, unseen images.
Training involves three main aspects:
📌 1. Use Training Data
➤ What it means:
The training data consists of labeled images of sorghum leaves.
Each image is associated with a known class (e.g., Anthracnose, Sooty Stripe, Healthy,
etc.).
These examples are used by the model to learn patterns and features that distinguish
each disease category.
➤ What happens during training:
The images are passed through the model in batches.
The model performs a forward pass, producing a prediction for each image.
The loss function (typically categorical cross-entropy for multi-class classification)
calculates how far off the predictions are from the actual labels.
A process called backpropagation adjusts the model's internal weights using an
optimizer (e.g., Adam), based on the calculated error.
This process is repeated over multiple epochs (complete passes through the training
dataset), gradually improving the model’s accuracy.
📌 2. Use Validation Data to Monitor Overfitting
➤ What it means:
While the model learns from the training data, it is simultaneously evaluated on a
separate set of data called validation data, which it has never seen during training.
➤ Why it's important:
The purpose of validation is to check how well the model generalizes to new data.
Overfitting occurs when a model performs very well on training data but poorly on
unseen data (i.e., it memorizes rather than learns).
Monitoring performance on validation data during each epoch allows us to:
o Detect early signs of overfitting
o Use techniques like early stopping, dropout, or regularization if validation
performance starts to degrade
➤ Example:
If training accuracy is 98% but validation accuracy is only 70%, the model is likely
overfitting.
📌 3. Track Accuracy and Loss
➤ Why tracking is needed:
Accuracy tells us the percentage of correct predictions.
Loss is a numeric value that indicates how wrong the predictions are; lower loss means
better predictions.
➤ What we track:
Training Accuracy: How well the model is doing on the training data.
Validation Accuracy: How well it’s doing on unseen validation data.
Training Loss: How much error the model is making on the training data.
Validation Loss: Error on the validation set.
➤ How it's tracked:
Most deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, Keras) automatically track these
metrics after each epoch.
The metrics are typically plotted over time to visually assess the model’s learning
behavior.
➤ Interpreting the metrics:
Observation Meaning
Training and validation loss decreasing together Model is learning well
Observation Meaning
Training loss decreasing but validation loss increasing Model is overfitting
Both losses plateau at high values Model is underfitting or poorly designed

✅ Step 4: Train the Model – Detailed Explanation with
Python Code
📌 A. Use Training Data
🔍 Explanation:
Training data is used to teach the model how to classify sorghum leaf images by learning
features through forward and backward passes.
🔧 Code – Option 1: Using ImageDataGenerator
from [Link] import ImageDataGenerator
train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True,
shear_range=0.1,
rotation_range=20,
validation_split=0.2 # Reserve part of training data for validation
)
train_data = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
target_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical',
subset='training',
shuffle=True
)
🔧 Code – Option 2: Using [Link] for Custom Pipelines
import tensorflow as tf
def process_image(image, label):
image = [Link](image, [224, 224])
image = image / 255.0 # Normalize
return image, label
train_dataset = [Link].image_dataset_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
validation_split=0.2,
subset='training',
seed=42,
image_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32
).map(process_image).shuffle(100)
📌 B. Use Validation Data to Monitor Overfitting
🔍 Explanation:
Validation data is not used for training, but is passed through the model after each epoch to
check how well it performs on unseen data.
If validation loss starts increasing while training loss decreases, the model is overfitting.
🔧 Code – Option 1: From ImageDataGenerator
val_data = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
target_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical',
subset='validation'
)
🔧 Code – Option 2: From [Link]
val_dataset = [Link].image_dataset_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
validation_split=0.2,
subset='validation',
seed=42,
image_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32
).map(process_image)
📌 C. Track Accuracy and Loss
🔍 Explanation:
Tracking accuracy and loss during training and validation helps evaluate:
Learning progress
Overfitting/underfitting
When to stop training or tune parameters
We also visualize these metrics using plots.
🔧 Code – Model Compilation & Training
[Link](optimizer='adam',
loss='categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])
# Option 1: Basic training with history tracking
history = [Link](
train_data,
validation_data=val_data,
epochs=20
)
🔧 Option 2: Add Callbacks for Monitoring and Control
from [Link] import EarlyStopping, ModelCheckpoint
early_stop = EarlyStopping(monitor='val_loss', patience=5,
restore_best_weights=True)
checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint('best_model.h5', save_best_only=True)
history = [Link](
train_data,
validation_data=val_data,
epochs=30,
callbacks=[early_stop, checkpoint]

To run this code snippet correctly, you need to follow these steps:
1. Set up your environment
Make sure you have Python and necessary packages installed, especially TensorFlow and Keras
(Keras is part of TensorFlow 2.x).
You can install TensorFlow using pip if you haven't yet:
pip install tensorflow
2. Prepare your dataset
Your dataset folder should be organized like this:
dataset/
└── train/
├── healthy/
│ ├── [Link]
│ ├── [Link]
│ └── ...
├── anthracnose/
│ ├── [Link]
│ └── ...
└── gray_leaf_spot/
├── [Link]
└── ...
Each subfolder inside train corresponds to a disease class (or healthy).
Images should be inside these class folders.
3. Run the code in Python
You can run the code snippet in a Python script or a Jupyter notebook.
Here’s a minimal working example to test:
from [Link] import ImageDataGenerator
# Create ImageDataGenerator with augmentation and validation split
train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rescale=1./255,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True,
shear_range=0.1,
rotation_range=20,
validation_split=0.2
)
# Load training data (80% of dataset)
train_data = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
target_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical',
subset='training',
shuffle=True
)
# Print some info to verify
print(f"Found {train_data.samples} training images belonging to
{train_data.num_classes} classes.")
print(f"Class indices: {train_data.class_indices}")
4. Check for common errors
Folder path: Ensure 'dataset/train' is the correct relative or absolute path to your
images folder.
Images present: Make sure there are images in the subfolders.
Image formats: Supported image formats are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, etc.
Permissions: You have read access to the folder.
5. Next steps
To use the validation subset, load it similarly:
val_data = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'dataset/train',
target_size=(224, 224),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical',
subset='validation',
shuffle=True
)
Summary
Organize images properly.
Make sure you have TensorFlow installed.
Run the code from a Python script or notebook.
Use flow_from_directory to load images with augmentation and split.
