The video tutorial discusses the importance of evaluating machine learning model performance on unseen data to ensure generalization and avoid overfitting. It explains the process of splitting data into training and test sets, emphasizing the need for a balance between the two to achieve reliable performance metrics. The tutorial also highlights the significance of using test data to assess model performance before deployment in real-world scenarios.

What steps should be taken after training a model to ensure its performance is satisfactory?

How does the size of the training and test sets affect the model's performance evaluation?

What are some common data split ratios used in machine learning?
