Vincent commented on SPARK-17055:
---------------------------------
one of the most common tasks is to fit a "model" to a set of training data, so
as to be able to make reliable predictions on general untrained data.
labelKFold can be used to test the model's ability to generalize by evaluating
its performance on a class of data not used for training, which is assumed to
approximate the typical unseen data that a model will encounter.
> add labelKFold to CrossValidator

> Key: SPARK-17055
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17055
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: Vincent
> Priority: Minor
>
> Current CrossValidator only supports k-fold, which randomly divides all the
> samples in k groups of samples. But in cases when data is gathered from
> different subjects and we want to avoid over-fitting, we want to hold out
> samples with certain labels from training data and put them into validation
> fold, i.e. we want to ensure that the same label is not in both testing and
> training sets.
> Mainstream packages like Sklearn already supports such cross validation
> method.
