A dropout rate of 0.2 gives ~0.84 on training data and ~0.8119 on test data. I just went around tweaking the values by intuition, there was no specific reference I was looking at. I will add this as a comment? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
