Training data

The examples used during training to help a model learn relationships. Whether correct answers are included depends on the learning method.

Simple example

For digit recognition, the training data contains handwriting images together with labels identifying the digit in each image.

Why does it matter?

Variety and correct labels matter as well as quantity. Duplicating one person’s handwriting does not represent different styles. Keep evaluation examples separate from training data.
