Early Stopping

[ˈɜːli ˈstɒpɪŋ]
Machine Learning
Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

A regularization technique that stops training when the model's performance on a validation set starts to degrade.

Detailed Explanation

Early stopping monitors the model's performance on a validation set during training and stops the training process when the performance begins to deteriorate. This helps prevent overfitting by capturing the point where the model begins to learn noise in the training data rather than generalizable patterns.

Use Cases

Neural network training, Model optimization, Preventing overfitting
