Model Validation

Encord Computer Vision Glossary

Model validation

Model validation is the process of evaluating the performance of a machine learning (ML) model on a dataset that is separate from the training dataset. It is an important step in the ML model development process, as it can help to ensure that the model is able to generalize to new, unseen data, and is not overfitting to the training data.

Model validation can be done in a number of ways, such as holdout validation, cross-validation, and bootstrapping. Holdout validation divides the data into training and validation sets, with the training set being used to train the model and the validation set being used to evaluate it. The process of cross-validation includes folding the data into various groups and training and assessing the model on each fold. Bootstrapping entails sampling the data with replacement to produce numerous datasets, training the model on each dataset, and assessing the results.

In order to find any problems with the model's performance or generalizability, model validation is a crucial step in the development of ML models. It can also be used to evaluate many models' performance or decide which one is better for a certain task.

Overall, model validation is an important component of machine learning and a crucial step in creating and assessing ML models. It is a crucial step in the model development process and can ensure that the model can generalize to new, untested data.
