Why is my MLP-GRU model validation accuracy is so low?

peony: <p>My task is action recognition where my inputs are mediapipe keypoints. I have 300 imbalanced classes. The first few classes have over 500 samples while the majority have less than 20 so I am using WeightedRandomSampler to deal with this imbalance.  But even after that, my training and validation accuracy are still low.</p>
<p>I have tried the model below which is an MLP plus GRU model. My learning rate is 1e-06, learning step is 10, batch size is 32. After around 10 epochs, the accuracy is not reaching 1% and the train and val losses plateau.</p>
