For a (binary) classification problem, I made a CNN which works pretty fine. However, to be sure there are no bugs in the data preparation and such, I also trained my network on observations that should NOT be distinguishable, i.e. I would expect a "coin-flip" / 50% accuracy. The total number of observations is several 100k, the data set is balanced and the training - validation split is 80-20.



Seems to me that the model over-fits a bit, but (as expected) does not generalize to the validation set.



The graphical result for a (very long) model training phase looks like this:



Training a CNN (binary classifier)
Should I be surprised to see (almost) exclusively negative values for my training set accuracy (mean: 0.496, sd: 0.005)? Should it not fluctuate in a more "balanced" way around 0.5?
