A machine learning model is being trained, and its performance is measured at the end of each epoch. The table below shows the training loss (how well the model fits the data it was trained on) and the validation loss (how well the model performs on a separate set of unseen data). Based on these results, after which epoch should the training process be stopped to ensure the model generalizes best to new, unseen data? Justify your decision.

Early Stopping means stopping earlier when the loss function doesn't have relatively obvious progress or with worse validation in one or several recent epochs.

Early Stopping

Early Stopping is designed to protect model with overfitting.

Model Training Performance Analysis

A machine learning engineer is training a large model and observes the following: over the last 10 training cycles, the error on the training dataset has continued to decrease, but the error on a separate validation dataset has consistently increased. What is the most appropriate immediate action to take?

When training a predictive model, a decision must be made about when to stop the training process. Describe the primary risk associated with stopping the training process too soon, and the primary risk associated with continuing the training process for too long. What is the ultimate objective that guides the decision of when to stop?
