During training, a correct classification of 99.1% was achieved for the neural network while thevalidationsetachieved 86.8% correct classification.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Starting from different random initial weights, ten networks were trained until the cross-entropy on thevalidationsetreached a minimum for each of them.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This would suggest then that for very small corpora, several learned models might be developed and a separate taggedvalidationsetused to choose among the models.
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.
