How do you choose the final experiment result?

Hi, @cbrewitt
Thanks you so much for sharing this code. I have a question about the experiment result.
How do you choose the final experiment result? In same model and parameters, the predicted values of same appliance are different. So, I am so confusion, how do you choose the final result? I have read many NILM papers, but none of them clearly show how they choose the final experimental results.

I am looking forward to your reply,
Thanks you so much!

Hi @Hessen525,

Even when using using the same models and hyperparameters, the Neural Net weights are initialized to different values, which will lead to different weights in the trained models, and thus different predictions. I obtained the final results simply by running the finished code once and using those results.
