Thank you, Andre!

[@dwosllk]

You said that “test set is unlabeled” but actually it is a labeled dataset. Of course it could be unlabeled because it isn’t adding anything to the model while it is training, but we use a labeled test set to quickly determine our models performance when it has finished training.

[@alfianabdulhalin1873]

Hi @Gábor Pelesz ... That's what I thought too. I was wondering if I could get your insights on the main difference between validation and test set. From what I understand, the validation set is used with training. Meaning, after training say a Logistic Regression model (~100,000 iterations with specific hyperparamters)... then we deploy the validation set on this trained model... after which some metrics are calculated. If the error is bad, then we tune the hyperparamters, or do whatever is necessary... and then train some more based on the changes. Then after that... we validate again using the validation data... and this goes on until the get a satisfactory error chart. Wouldn't the TEST set now be redundant? Since we already achieved good performance on the validation set. From what I've self-learned, we basically sample all sets (training, validation and test), from basically the same distribution... right? Would appreciate any insights.

[@dwosllk]

@@alfianabdulhalin1873 1. In an ideal world, where we can train with data that is completely cover the space of the variables, the test set might be useless because it isn't adding any information to us (i.e redundant, was already in the training set). Therefore our models performance would be exactly what it achieved while training. But sadly we are so far from this world that with additional test sets, we are only able to speculate the performance of our models. So summing up, training and validation set is, let's say, 80%. The 20% that's left is more likely (and also it is important) to be unique and different. 2. We are training with the training set so our model is most biased towards the training set. Let's assume the model is tested against the validation set after the model went through all our data once and want to start over for another iteration (i.e if we have 10 training samples, then after every 10th step we test against validation set). While validating, we modify some hyperparameters accordingly (e.g. learning rate). What's important is that we change things after seeing how our validation tests performed, thus our model is also biased towards the validation set (although not as much as towards the training set). This emphasizes the relevance of a test set, a set of datapoints that the model probably never seen before (also the test set is important to be unique, different than the others, to make sense). Hope your questions are answered!

[@tamoorkhan3262]

Yes, the reason we pass labels with test data is to determine the accuracy, otherwise, those labels play no other role. It is like, you pass your unlabelled test data through the model collect all the predictions and then using the correct labels to compute the accuracy.

[@aroonsubway2079]

@@tamoorkhan3262 Do you mean test dataset is another validation set? After all, they are the same in the sense that their labels will not be used to update model parameter, and their labels are only used to generate some accuracy numbers.

[@mikeguitar-michelerossi8195]

​@@aroonsubway2079 To the best of my knowledge the main point in distringuishing between validation set and test set is the following. During the training phase, we want to maximize the performance (accuracy) calculated on the validation set. By doing this after a while we are adjusting hyperparameters (n' of neurons, activation functions, n' of epochs...) to perform well in "that particular" validation set! (That's why cross-validation is generally a good choce) The test set should be considered "one shot". We do not generally adjust hyperparameters to have a better performance on test set, because that was the role of the validation set. (Also the test set is labelled) It's an approximation but in general: 👉 train set -> to adjust weigths of our model 👉 valid set -> to adjust hyperparmaters 👉 test set -> calculate final accuracy

@@adanegebretsadik8390 Lets consider that you have a dataset D which we will split as follow: 1- 70% Of D as train set = T' 2- 30% of D as test set = S We will further split the train set T' as follow: 1- 70% of T as train set = T 2- 30% of T as valid set = V To construct a good classifier model we need it to learn all the important information related to T and then validate it first on D than test it in final on S. The perfect model will have a good score in both D and T. As a simple explanation to this setup would be this: If you are learning a new course (Machine Learning) D, you will have to pass some labs (V). If you have scored a good score in V you are eligible to pass the final test S with confidence. Otherwise you will have to re-learn the course material D and test yourself a second time on V until you achieve a good results in V.

I have one question. In Tensorflow's Object detection API they tell us to create a training directory and a test directory and as usual 90-10 distribution. But we gotta label all of them. So this means the test directory in case of Tensorflow's API is actually Validation set right?

[@deeplizard]

Hey Nirbhay - Not necessarily. Sometimes we'll label our test sets so we can see the stats from how well the model predicted on the test data. For example, we may want to plot a confusion matrix with the results from the test set. More on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ6aoauBrpmIfrc If the test set is labeled, we just have to take extra precaution to make sure that the labels are not made available to the model, like they are for training and validations sets.

Key here is to reduce the need for mathematical literacy and make the concepts more intuitive and easier to get into. If you were to introduce math literacy needed to explain these concepts, then you'd need to hope that the people who are looking to understand these concepts have figured out that by watching the likes of 3blue1brown (assuming that they've found him in the process of wanting to understand the math (hint: most people don't want to learn the math, they just want to understand the code)).

[@nadaalay4528]

Thank you for this video. In the results of the example, the validation accuracy is higher than the training accuracy. Is this considered a problem?

[@deeplizard]

Hey Nada - It's typically going to be up to the engineer of the network to determine what is considered acceptable regarding their results. In general, I would say that you typically want your training and validation accuracy to be as close as you can get them to each other. If the validation accuracy is considerably greater than the training accuracy, then you may want to take steps to decrease the difference between those metrics. If the model used in this video was one I planned to deploy to production, for example, then I would take steps to close this gap. This would be considered a problem of underfitting. I talk more about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpmbnXSjarCca8k

[@boulaawny4420]

Could you give a real world example of training set and validating set ?! kinda like i want to train if it's blue or red flower depending on its height or width ... and i use k-nearest neighbour so what validation set consists of ?

[@deeplizard]

Hey Andy, So, sticking with your example of flowers-- You would start out by gathering the data for red and blue flowers. This data would presumably be numerical data containing the height and width of the flowers, and each sample from your data set would be labeled with "blue" or "red." You would then split this data up into a training set and validation set. A common split is 80% training / 20% validation. You would then train your model on the data in the training set, and validate the model on the data in the validation set. Does this example make things more clear?

[@mauriciourtadoilha9971]

I believe you're wrong about the test set being unlabeled. As far as I remember from Andrew Ng course in Stanford, the training set is used for model tuning for multiple models; the validation set is used for model selection (this is where you compare different models to check which one best performs on data not used for training). Once you choose a definitive model, you still have to check if it generalizes well for data never seen before, that does not carry any bias on model selection. At this point, you don't do any further tuning. Besides, having a labeled test set allows you to define test error. If data are unlabeled, this term doesn't make any sense, does it?

[@deeplizard]

The test set's labels just cannot be known to the model in the way that the train and validation sets are. So as far as the model knows, the test set is unlabeled. You may have the test labels stored elsewhere though to do your own analysis.

[@maxmacken8859]

One question. Data in the tet set does have labels, right? But it's not known to the classifier... It's only labeled so that we could calculate all the metrics at the end more easily... right?

[@deeplizard]

Sometimes we'll have labels for the test set, and other times we may not. When we do have the labels, you're correct that the network will not be aware of the labels that correspond to the samples. The network will understand that there are, say 10 different classes, for which it will need to classify the data from the test set, but it will not know the individual labels that correspond to each sample.

[@OpeLeke]

validation set is used to tweak the hyperparameters of a model.

thanks very much for the videos!! then the labels of the training set and the array of its labels should be ordered to match properly, correct? f.i. if index 0 of the training array is the picture of a cat, then index 0 of label array should be 0 (and 1 if a dog)?

[@deeplizard]

Yes, correct!

[@bonalareddy5339]

I'm kinda confused about this, for a very large dataset - say (10 million records). In general in the production environment how will be the train test split would be done to evaluate how our model is working? -> I have heard in a few resources that it is okay to split the data into 98% for training , 1% validation (100,000 rows) and 1% testing (100,000 rows). The theory behind this is that 1% of the data is most probably representing the maximum variance in the data. -> And some say, we have to split the data more or less 70% for training, 15% for validation and 15% for testing. The theory behind this is that if we have a large data for validation, testing and if it is giving good accuracy on that, then we can say with "confidence" that it would work nearly the same in real time as well. If any of this is right or wrong, could you please explain me with a reason.

I have a question? Why we can not use validation approach in normal machine learning? Why we only use it in deep learning problems to prevent overfitting?

[@dazzaondmic]

Thank you for the video. I just have one question. How do we know how well our model is performing on the test set if we don't have labels to tell us the "correct answer" and if we don't even know what the correct answer is ourselves. How do we then know that the model performed well or badly on the test set? Thanks again.

[@deeplizard]

Hey dazzaondmic - You're welcome! If we don't know the labels to the test set ourselves, then the only way we can gauge the performance of the model is based on the metrics observed during training and validating. We won't have a solid way of judging the exact accuracy of the model on the test set. If we have a decently sized validation set though, and the data contained in it is a good representation of what the model will be exposed to in the test set and in the "real world," then that increases confidence in the model's ability to perform well on new, unseen data if the model indeed performs well on the validation data. Does this help clarify?

[@aroonsubway2079]

IMO，the test dataset should have labels so that we can at least have some accuracy numbers to look at in the end. The only difference btw validation dataset and test dataset is that, we still have chance to update model based on the validation results by tuning hyperparameters. However, test dataset only provide us a final accuracy number, even it is bad, we won't perform additional training.

I caught the for-loop reverse reference in that same series and after rectifying my code the val loss accuracy and loss behaved normally while fitting. But I'm not sure why the behaviour changed. As you explained, doing the validation split will take a percentage of the training set prior to fitting (I dunno if the validation set is generated after a shuffle or not in this case) and won't regenerate on each shuffle on each epoch. But why is switching the for-loops order mattered? you are still taking the 10 or 20% bottom of your data regardless of the for loop order and you end up with the same validation data on each epoch. Also, I used a sigmoid function in the output as you did in this series yet my prediction probabilities don't sum up to 1 as you depicted in the prediction video within the same playlist. Using a softmax function like in Keras API series works fine. It helps if you could clear up this confusion.

[@deeplizard]

The validation_split parameter takes the last x% of the data in the training set (10% in our example), and doesn't shuffle it. With the way I had the for-loops organized originally, the validation split would completely capture all of the data in the second for loop, which was the 5% of younger individuals who did experience side effects and the 5% of older individuals who did not experience side effects. Therefore, none of the data in the second for-loop would be captured in the training set. With the re-ordering of the for-loops, the training set is made up of the data that is now generated in both for-loops. Another (better) approach we could have taken is, after generating all the data with both for-loops (regardless of which order the loops are in), we could shuffle all the data completely, and then pass that shuffled data to our model. With shuffled data, the training set and validation sets would be a more accurate depiction of the true underlying data since there would be no real ordering to it. As long as your data in the real world is shuffled before you pass it to your model, you shouldn't experience this problem.

[@hasnain-khan]

If i have 1000 rows in dataset. Then how can select 800 rows for training and 200 for testing instead of select randomly in splitting?

[@deeplizard]

Keras can automatically split out a percentage of your training data for validation only. More here: deeplizard.com/learn/video/dzoh8cfnvnI

[@bobjoe275]

There's an error in using validation_data in model.fit. The format should be a tuple of NumPy arrays, i.e. valid_set = (np.array([0.6,0.5]), np.array([1,1]))

All fine, but I came to know that the dependent variable are not included in the training set, how is that? Thank you

[@deeplizard]

Hey balabodhi - I'm not sure what you mean by "dependent variable." Can you please elaborate?

[@balabodhiy730]

For predictic we split a dataset into two sets, one is train set and another is test set. But when we have separate datasets for training and testing given, then do we include the dependent variable (response variable or the Y Variable) in testing dataset. Because in one of my simple Logistic reg analysis, they have given three datasets separately: training, validation and testing. In the testing dataset, I don't have the response variable ie., the Y variable. So this my question, can we test a dataset without the response variable Y.

[@deeplizard]

I see. Yes, many times, we don't have the labels for the test data. This is completely fine. The labels for training and validation data are required, but labels for test data are not required.

[@balabodhiy730]

ok that's fine, but I couldn't understand what is labels

[@greeshmanthmacherla2105]

what happens if i give same set of images for both validation and training datasets?

[@deeplizard]

You will not be able to identify overfitting or see how your model is generalizing to data it wasn't trained on.

[@greeshmanthmacherla2105]

@@deeplizard i got an error :"`validation_split` is only supported for Tensors or NumPy " what should I do now?

Either convert your data to a supported data type, or manually create a separate validation set. More details in this blog: deeplizard.com/learn/video/dzoh8cfnvnI

[@deeplizard]

By validating the model against the validation set, we can choose to adjust our hyperparameters based on the validation metrics. The weights of the network, however, are not adjusted during training based on the validation set. (Note that weights are not hyperparameters.) The weights are only adjusted according to the training set. This is what is stated in the video. Hope it's clear now.

[@blankslate6393]

The role of validation set in adjusting weights is still unclear to me after listening that part 3 times. So not great explanation. Maybe you need to make a video specific to this.

[@GQElvie]

not helpful at all. why cant anybody just show an EXAMPLE so that we can really wrap our head around this. I have a vague idea of validation. I take it the validation just "updates" because of the new information?? if that is it, then why are there 10 different definitions. what is an example of the validation demonstrating underfitting or overfitting?
