During training, a correct classification of 99.1% was achieved for the neural network while thevalidationsetachieved 86.8% correct classification.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
As learning progresses in a noisy data set, the closest approximation to the function generally occurs before overfitting, at which point the error u of an independentvalidationsetincreases.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The error on thevalidationsetis used as a proxy for the generalization error in determining when overfitting has begun.
