What is the purpose of EarlyStopping in Keras?

In Keras, EarlyStopping is a callback function used to monitor the performance of a model during training and stop training when the model’s performance no longer improves. It evaluates whether the model should continue training based on a certain metric such as loss or accuracy on a validation set, thereby preventing overfitting. EarlyStopping helps users determine the appropriate number of training epochs and improve the generalization ability of the model.
