Save snapshot only if performance improves

[ada...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I used to work with cuda-convnet, and it would only save a snapshot of the net when the validation error would reach a new minimum. At the moment with caffe, a snapshot gets saved every fixed interval. If the interval is too small, too much space gets taken up; if it is too large, I am afraid of missing the global validation error minimum (since the net will eventually overfit). 
Is there a way of getting the snapshot to save like cuda-convnet? Or is there a fork that achieves this?

Best wishes,

Alex

Hi, Alexandre,

I have the same problem as you, so I want to know if you have finished your problem。

I think this deserves to be implemented. I also find the current solution a bit awkward sometimes. If there is no solution, try making an issue on github.
