@glenn-jocher So, If i train a model with 70 epochs and after successful run it creates a best.pt but the precision is not very good so i have to train more on best.pt. Thanks |
`--epochs 70 --weights best.pt |
And is it possible to restart a training that has stopped due to patience? I set up the patience in 20 but looking at the graph map50:95. I think it is already improving but needs more than 20 epochs. I have tried to resume the learning by increasing the patience value, but this error appears:
but the last epoch was 160. |

This is confusing because there is more than one answer on StackOverflow like this one https://stackoverflow.com/a/72922281/521342 @glenn-jocher indicates in the response above that the LR schedulers are designed to taper off to minimum at the epoch count specified in the original training command. It is still not clear what the impact is on the scheduler values if the opt.yaml file is modified then resumed. |
I don't get a concrete answer, if I continue to train for example another 200 epochs from best.pt weights I see again mAP is very low, there is no option to continue training more epochs? although the program finish I can use --resume only if happen to interrupt. |

Thank you for your reply, When I train from weights/last.pt I see that my mAP is very low and does not really continue to increase from the last results why is it happening? |

Hi @glenn-jocher, Sorry, I am asking same question as above. I read all the posts above. I too have same problem and unable to solve. I am training yolov5 in Google Colab. Since, the time in Google colab is limited, and since I don't know how many epochs I may train the network to achieve desired performance; I want to train step by step.
Unfortunately, whenever I want to continue training (i.e., using previous |

Hello ,
Thank you for replying,I understood that ,but where can specify the epochs
to resume the model there is nothing related epochs in the below code
!python train.py --resume
/content/drive/MyDrive/mango_readyallclasses/weights/last.pt
That's what confusing.can you please help me with this.

Thank you for reaching out! It looks like you're interested in resuming
your training to add more epochs and improve your mAP. To do this, you can
use the --resume flag with the path to your last checkpoint. Here’s how
you can do it:
1.
*Ensure you have the latest version*: First, make sure you are using
the latest versions of torch and the YOLOv5 repository. You can update
your repository with the following commands:
git pull
pip install -r requirements.txt
2.
*Resume Training*: To resume training from your last checkpoint, you
can use the --resume flag. This will continue training from where it
left off, using the most recent checkpoint saved in your training
directory. Here’s an example command:
!python train.py --resume /content/drive/MyDrive/mango_readyallclasses/weights/last.pt
If you encounter any issues or if the training does not resume as
expected, please provide a minimum reproducible code example so we can
investigate further. You can find more information on how to create a
minimum reproducible example here
<https://docs.ultralytics.com/help/minimum_reproducible_example>. This
will help us better understand the problem and provide a more accurate
solution.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or need further
assistance. Happy training! 🚀

Thank you for your follow-up question! I understand the confusion
regarding specifying the number of epochs when resuming training.
When you use the --resume flag, YOLOv5 automatically continues training
from the last saved checkpoint, including the number of epochs left to
train. You do not need to specify the number of epochs again. The training
will resume from where it left off, continuing until it reaches the total
number of epochs specified in the original training command.
For example, if you initially set --epochs 50 and the training was
interrupted at epoch 30, using --resume will continue training from epoch
30 to epoch 50.
If you want to extend the total number of epochs beyond the original
setting, you can modify the opt.yaml file or specify the new total number
of epochs directly in the command line. Here’s how you can do it:
1. *Modify the Total Epochs*: If you initially trained for 50 epochs
and now want to train for an additional 50 epochs (total 100 epochs), you
can specify the new total number of epochs when resuming:
!python train.py --resume /content/drive/MyDrive/mango_readyallclasses/weights/last.pt --epochs 100
This command will continue training from the last checkpoint and extend
the total number of epochs to 100.
Please ensure you are using the latest versions of torch and the YOLOv5
repository to avoid any compatibility issues. If you encounter any further
issues, providing a minimum reproducible code example will help us
investigate and provide a more accurate solution. You can find more
information on creating a minimum reproducible example here

Question
Hello!
Can anybody resolve my confusion about continuing training on the best.pt after running all EPochs successfully?
I have trained my yolov5s.pt models with coco + custom dataset for 65 EPOCHS and it create a best.pt models. I want to run more EPochs on this to get better precision and recall, so i started training best.pt which already has 65 Epochs. Earlier i thought that If i start training on best.pt, it should run from 66th EPoch but after seeing results of precision and recall value, I assume that it starts fresh again.
I tried --resume but it can be only used if the training gets interrupted.
Is there any way where i can start the training from where i finished with best.pt?
Thanks
Dhruvil Dave
