A method for outlier management at a flash controller includes testing a flash memory device to identify one or more outlier blocks of the flash memory device. Hyperparameters for a DNN are loaded into a training circuit of the flash controller. Test reads of the one or more outlier blocks are performed and a number of errors in the test reads is identified. The DNN is trained using a mini-batch training process and using the identified number of errors in the test reads and is tested to determine whether the trained DNN meets a training error threshold. The performing, the identifying, the training and the testing are repeated until the trained DNN meets the training error threshold to identify parameters of an outlier-block DNN.
