Small Training Set

A Small Training Set is a Training Set with insufficient number of Training Records to achieve a Performance Plateau.

• Context:
  • It can be analyzed by a Small Training Set Learning Algorithm.
• Example(s):
  • a Seed Set.
• See: Skewed Training Set, Weakly-Supervised Learning.
