What is Model Validation?

Model validation ensures that machine learning models perform reliably on new, unseen data. It's crucial for building trustworthy AI systems that make accurate predictions in real-world scenarios, preventing costly mistakes from overfitted or biased models.

✅
Cross-Validation
Test model performance across multiple data splits
📊
Bias-Variance Tradeoff
Balance model complexity for optimal generalization
⚠️
Overfitting Detection
Identify when models memorize training data
