I am training a custom QA model and my validation accuracy is starting from 61% and training from 54% after that training accuracy is continuously increasing and training loss decreasing whereas validation accuracy only increases till 3rd epoch to reach 64% (and training accuracy at 3rd epoch is 71%) and then starts decreasing and validation loss increases. I have around 90000 data and my model has 18.9M training parameter. I suspect that it is over fitting. I have tried everything to fix this my nothing helped. Can anyone help to identify the issue. Also even if there is over fitting can I still use the result till the 3rd epoch as validation loss increases after that?
