Early Stopping

/ˈɜːrli ˈstɒpɪŋ/

A regularization technique that stops training when validation performance stops improving.

In italiano: Early Stopping

Early stopping monitors validation loss during training and stops when it hasn't improved for a set number of epochs (patience). This prevents overfitting by stopping before the model memorizes training data.

Examples

  • Stop training at epoch 50 when validation loss plateaus
  • Patience of 10 epochs
  • Restore best weights
