  4. To evaluate the model's accuracy

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of using a validation set during model selection?
  • Step 1: When building a machine learning model, we need to choose the best settings (hyperparameters) for it.
  • Step 2: We split our data into three parts: training set, validation set, and test set.
  • Step 3: We use the training set to teach the model how to make predictions.
  • Step 4: We use the validation set to test different settings and see which ones work best.
  • Step 5: After finding the best settings using the validation set, we can then test the final model on the test set to see how well it performs.
