# Validation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Validation allows you to split data for evaluating your training progress.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When training a specific class, setting aside a portion of the data for validation will allow you to see trend lines you cannot see when purely looking at loss of the training itself.

|
## How to use validation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `validation_config` option in a pointer to a JSON config file with settings for use in validation. There is a default validation file `validation_default.json` in the repo root.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can copy this file to a new file and edit it to your liking, then point to it with the `validation_config` option.
