Cross-Validation

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. A model evaluation technique that partitions data into complementary subsets, training on some folds and validating on others, then rotating. K-fold cross-validation (typically k=5 or 10) provides a more robust performance estimate than a single train/test split.

    In plain English: A way to test how well a machine learning model works by training and testing it on different slices of the data multiple times to get a reliable score.
