Training


In order to get a good measure of how the model behaves on data that's unseen during training, the validation dataset is used to compute a validation loss and accuracy during training.

The validation dataset enables us to choose the best model, while the test dataset is only used at the end to get the final test accuracy/error of the model. The training, test, and validation datasets are discrete datasets, with no common examples. The validation dataset is usually 10 times smaller than the test dataset to slow the training process as little as possible. The test dataset is usually around 10-20% of the training dataset. Both the training and validation datasets are part of the training program, since the first one is used to learn, and the second is used to select the best model on unseen data at training time.

The test dataset is completely outside the training process and is used to get the accuracy of the produced model, resulting from training and model selection.
