Data Leakage

Data Leakage is a training error that occurs when information from outside the training dataset is used to train a model. This leads to overly optimistic performance scores during validation, but poor generalization on true unseen data.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does data leakage typically happen?

By scaling or normalizing the entire dataset (including training and validation sets) together, rather than calculating scaling parameters only on the training split.

How do you prevent data leakage?

Strictly separate the validation and test datasets before performing any preprocessing, cleaning, or feature engineering transformations.
