Effect of the regularization hyperparameter on deep learning-based segmentation in LGE-MRI

The extent to which the arbitrarily selected L2 regularization hyperparameter value affects the outcome of semantic segmentation with deep learning is demonstrated. Demonstrations rely on training U-net on small LGE-MRI datasets using the arbitrarily selected L2 regularization values. The remaining hyperparameters are to be manually adjusted or tuned only when 10 % of all epochs are reached before the training validation accuracy reaches 90%. Semantic segmentation with deep learning outcomes are objectively and subjectively evaluated against the manual ground truth segmentation.
