When Grouping Classes in Multiclass Models Hurts More Than It Helps
Grouping rare classes into a catch-all category like "Other breed" feels practical, but it often forces the model to draw messy boundaries around visually dissimilar samples. That intuition is sound: the hyperplanes get distorted, and the model wastes capacity on artificial splits. Treating the long tail as out-of-distribution detection, as the original poster suggests, is a cleaner approach. Keep the well-represented classes, drop the rest, and let the model focus on meaningful distinctions.

Extracting 20,000 images from video capture is a clever way to build a dataset, and the attention to balance here is what makes it useful. The creator shot both day and night footage across biomes, then filtered out blurry frames and other species to keep the focus on the 50 categories. This is a thoughtful, practical resource for anyone wanting to train a vision model on game assets. It is worth exploring if you are working with synthetic imagery.
Balancing the Unbalanced: Smarter Loss Functions for Medical AI
Three models collapsing toward BIRADS 1 is a familiar wall when a dataset leans that hard. The VinDr imbalance is likely steering your cross-entropy, even with class weights and center loss in the mix. You are not wrong to question the loss function, but the weights may need recalibration or a focal-style adjustment to resist the majority pull. Before abandoning the approach, audit your sampling strategy and weight initialization.
