This guarantees balanced class exposure across all stored data +regardless of how many rounds or rows are configured. Image arrays are also +now serialized with json.dumps() before insertion to ensure consistent +string encoding in the database. + + +### edgefl/platform_components/data_handlers/custom_data_handler.py + +Training pipeline fixes and accuracy improvements + + +1. Fixed normalization: load_dataset() was returning raw uint8 pixel +values without normalizing them. Added / 255.0 to both the train and test +arrays in load_dataset() so data arrives pre-normalized. preprocess() +now only casts dtype to float32 and no longer reshapes (since +load_dataset() already handles reshaping). +2. Removed WHERE round_number filter: The original query fetched only +images matching the current round number. Changed to LIMIT 1000 +(train) and LIMIT 200 (test) with no round filter so each training round +uses all available data. load_dataset() signature updated to make +round_number optional. +3. Added Dropout regularization: Added Dropout(0.25) after each +convolutional block and Dropout(0.5) before the output layer in +model_def() to reduce overfitting. +4. Added class weights: compute_class_weight('balanced') applied during +fit() to prevent the model from biasing toward majority classes in +imbalanced rounds. +5. Tuned training hyperparameters: batch_size reduced from 128 to 32, +epochs increased from 1 to 5, and EarlyStopping patience set to 5 +(previously commented out). These changes give the model more opportunity +to converge per round while still guarding against overfitting. +6. Fixed direct_inference(): Added normalization check +(if data.max() > 1.0: data = data / 255.0) so the inference endpoint +handles both raw 0–255 and pre-normalized 0–1 inputs correctly. +7. Replaced val_accuracy with run_inference(): Removed +validation_data from fit() and updated EarlyStopping to monitor +loss. After each training round, run_inference() is called to evaluate +against TEST_TABLE and log clean per-round test accuracy. +8. Simplified get_all_test_data(): Removed the old offset-based batching +loop (which was fetching only 50 rows and had the batching logic stubbed +out). Replaced with a single LIMIT 200 query, consistent with the +run_inference() approach. + + + +### gui/edgefl-gui/src/components/InputDataSelector.js + +Wider canvas brush The draw canvas used a 1×1 pixel brush.
