How To Improve Classifier Head CNN Accuracy?

Increase the classifier head depth

Add Batch Normalization between dense layers

Use Dropout in the classifier head

Increase the number of units in dense layers

Use Global Average Pooling instead of flattening

Try a smaller learning rate

Use a better optimizer such as AdamW

Apply learning rate scheduling

Fine-tune more layers of the CNN backbone

Use a pretrained backbone

Improve input image resolution

Normalize and standardize inputs properly

Add data augmentation

Handle class imbalance with class weights or resampling

Use label smoothing

Increase training epochs with early stopping

Reduce overfitting with stronger regularization

Tune batch size

Use cross-validation for model selection

Clean mislabeled or noisy training data

Collect more training data

Try different activation functions

Experiment with different loss functions

Use mixed precision if it allows larger batch sizes

Freeze fewer layers during fine-tuning

Replace Flatten with pooling layers

Add residual connections in the head

Perform hyperparameter tuning

Monitor validation metrics, not just training accuracy
