Stopping Training When Validation Performance Stops Improving

Early stopping is a training rule where gradient descent is halted once performance on a validation set stops improving or begins to worsen. It often lowers variance and helps control overfitting, but it can increase bias. Because it has a similar effect to some regularization methods, it is often grouped with regularization techniques.
