  2. Early stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_stopping

    In machine learning, early stopping is a form of regularization used to avoid overfitting when training a model with an iterative method, such as gradient descent. Such methods update the model to make it better fit the training data with each iteration.

  3. Overfitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting

    However, this should be done carefully to avoid overfitting. [14] Use a different algorithm: If the current algorithm is not able to capture the patterns in the data, it may be necessary to try a different one. For example, a neural network may be more effective than a linear regression model for some types of data. [14]

  4. Generalization error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalization_error

    Data points were generated from the relationship y = x with white noise added to the y values. In the left column, a set of training points is shown in blue. A seventh order polynomial function was fit to the training data. In the right column, the function is tested on data sampled from the underlying joint probability distribution of x and y ...

  5. Regularization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization_(mathematics)

    In machine learning, a key challenge is enabling models to accurately predict outcomes on unseen data, not just on familiar training data. Regularization is crucial for addressing overfitting—where a model memorizes training data details but can't generalize to new data. The goal of regularization is to encourage models to learn the broader ...

  6. Dilution (neural networks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_(neural_networks)

    On the left is a fully connected neural network with two hidden layers. On the right is the same network after applying dropout. Dilution and dropout (also called DropConnect [1]) are regularization techniques for reducing overfitting in artificial neural networks by preventing complex co-adaptations on training data.

  7. Training, validation, and test data sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training,_validation,_and...

    A test data set is a data set that is independent of the training data set, but that follows the same probability distribution as the training data set. If a model fit to the training data set also fits the test data set well, minimal overfitting has taken place (see figure below). A better fitting of the training data set as opposed to the ...

  8. Data augmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_augmentation

    Data augmentation is a statistical technique which allows maximum likelihood estimation from incomplete data. [1] [2] Data augmentation has important applications in Bayesian analysis, [3] and the technique is widely used in machine learning to reduce overfitting when training machine learning models, [4] achieved by training models on several slightly-modified copies of existing data.

  9. Decision tree pruning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_tree_pruning

    Pruning is a data compression technique in machine learning and search algorithms that reduces the size of decision trees by removing sections of the tree that are non-critical and redundant to classify instances. Pruning reduces the complexity of the final classifier, and hence improves predictive accuracy by the reduction of overfitting.
