Cross-Validation

Fact

A way to test a model by taking turns training and checking on data.

In Plain Words

Cross-validation is like tasting soup from different spots in the pot. One spoonful may be all noodles and no broth.

It trains and checks the model on different data pieces, then rotates the pieces. You meet it with small datasets and model tuning.
