As per Prof. Andrew Ng, training, cross-validation and testing should
have three different data-sets. If you have a small example set (for
example 10,000 or may be 50,000) then you can split the example set into
60:20:20 ratio for train:validation:testing. But if you have a very
large data-set (1 million, 10 million) then consider using 1% or may be
lesser for validation and testing.
