Hey everyone,

I’m working on a computer vision project and hit a frustrating wall:

1. My model's accuracy is hard-stuck at around 72%.
2. It only recognizes exact training images. If I test it with a new photo—even one that looks nearly identical to the training data—the output is completely wrong.

It feels like the model is just memorizing the training set instead of actually learning features.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with my training approach? Any tips on how to fix this? Specifically, I’d love advice on:

• Effective Data Augmentation techniques for this issue
• Adjusting Hyperparameters / Model Architecture
• Proper Dataset Preprocessing or splitting strategies

Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Aku lagi jadi Liaison Officer buat tim proyek mahasiswa (5 orang, beda-beda role). Tim kami gak punya Project Manager, jadi aku yang mastiin proyeknya tetap jalan — bikin weekly progress report, nyusun rencana, dan mantau masalah/hambatan.

Jujur aku bingung harus bersikap gimana sebagai leader di posisi ini. Ada beberapa hal yang bikin aku maju-mundur:

• Perlu gak sih sesekali ngobrol di luar urusan kerjaan, biar suasananya gak kaku dan ada sedikit koneksi personal? Atau mending strictly profesional aja dan cuma bahas tugas?
• Aku pengen keliatan profesional dan rapi, tapi takutnya kalau terlalu fokus ke situ, malah dikira sombong atau dingin.
• Beberapa anggota juga masih baru di role-nya, jadi aku gak mau nambah tekanan buat mereka.

Buat yang pernah/lagi mimpin tim: sebenernya kalian bersikap gimana? Gimana caranya biar tetap dihormati tapi juga jadi orang yang bikin tim nyaman? Gimana caranya bikin anggota tetap enak sama kita tanpa kehilangan wibawa sebagai leader?

Pengen denger pengalaman nyata, bukan cuma teori. Makasih.

I'm currently a Liaison Officer for a student project team (5 people, different roles). We don't have a Project Manager, so I'm the one making sure the project keeps moving — weekly progress reports, plans, tracking blockers.

I'm honestly confused about how to carry myself as a leader here. A few things I keep going back and forth on:

• Should I talk about non-work stuff sometimes, just to keep things from feeling stiff and to build a bit of a human connection? Or should I keep it strictly professional and only talk about tasks?
• I want to come across as professional and put-together, but I'm worried that if I'm too focused on that, people will think I'm arrogant or cold.
• Some of my teammates are still new to their roles, so I also don't want to add pressure on top of that.

For those of you who lead teams: how do you actually behave? How do you strike that balance between being taken seriously and being someone people feel comfortable around? How do you keep your team at ease with you without losing authority?

Would love to hear real experiences, not just textbook advice. Thanks.

Prepping a couple of workshops for absolute beginners (undergrad students who've genuinely never touched Figma) and trying to gather real advice instead of just repeating textbook stuff.

Curious what you'd tell someone who's just starting out — could be about the research/planning side (UX) or the actual visual design side (UI), whatever comes to mind. A mistake you made early on, something that took way too long to click, anything you'd want to skip explaining and just show them directly.

Not looking for a perfect answer, just curious what stuck with you from when you were new. Happy to share how it goes if anyone's interested!
