Dataset

A Dataset is a structured collection of data points, features, and target values used to train, validate, and evaluate machine learning models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three splits of a dataset in machine learning?

The training split (used to optimize weights), the validation split (used to select hyperparameters), and the test split (used to perform final accuracy checks).

What is the difference between structured and unstructured datasets?

Structured datasets are organized in tabular grids (like CSV files or database tables). Unstructured datasets contain raw media like text files, audio clips, or image directories, which require preprocessing.
