Future advances in deep learning and its impact on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in all fields depend heavily on data size and computational power. Sacrificing massive computing resources in exchange for better precision rates of the network model is recognized by many researchers. This leads to huge computing consumption, while satisfactory results are not always expected when computing resources are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between resources and model performance to achieve satisfactory results. This article proposes a self-adaptive quality of experience (QoE) framework, DeepNetQoE, to guide the training of deep networks. A self-adaptive QoE model is set up that relates the model's accuracy with the computing resources required for training which will allow the experience value of the model to improve. To maximize the experience value, a resource allocation model and solutions need to be established. Finally, we carry out experiments based on four network models to analyze the experience values with respect to the crowd counting example. Experimental results show that the proposed DeepNetQoE is capable of adaptively obtaining a high experience value according to user requirements and therefore guiding users to determine the computational resources allocated to the network models.
