No Free Lunch for Early Stopping

Abstract

We show that, with a uniform prior on hypothesis functions having the same training error, early stopping at some fixed training error above the training error minimum results in an increase in the expected generalization error. We also show that regularization methods are equivalent to early stopping with certain non-uniform prior on the early stopping solutions.
