Cross validation? #38

Are you currently using any form of CV? It kind of looks like you are using a holdout set for early stopping and then use this holdout set for the optimization.

Yes you're correct. Since the optimization error is biased anyways we use the same. This not not 100% correct evaluation, but shouldn't make a huge difference (hopefully). This is also true for the threshold tuning.

We don't need an additional validation set with that approach. There is a branch with an additional validation set if you need it.
