- **Question 12**: Why is early stopping not enabled by default in LightGBM?
- **Solution 12**: Early stopping involves choosing a validation set, a special type of holdout which is used to evaluate the current state of the model after each iteration to see if training can stop.
In ``LightGBM``, `we have decided to require that users specify this set directly <./Parameters.rst#valid>`_. Many options exist for splitting training data into training, test, and validation sets.
The appropriate splitting strategy depends on the task and domain of the data, information that a modeler has but which ``LightGBM`` as a general-purpose tool does not.
