Training Yolact on Google Colab+ without timing out

I want to train Yolact on a custom dataset using Google Colab+. Is it possible to train on Colab+ or does it time out to easily? Thank you!

Solution

  • Yes, you can train your model on Colab+. The problem is that Colab has a relatively short lifecycle compared with other cloud platforms such as AWS SageMaker or Google Cloud. I run the code below to extend a bit more such time.

    %%javascript
function ClickConnect(){
console.log("Working");
document.querySelector("colab-toolbar-button#connect").click()
}setInterval(ClickConnect,50000)
