    o Validation Data -- These data are used to validate the network
    while training. They provide an independent method to evaluate how
    the network is doing, and make sure the network gets trained independent
    of noise in the training data set.

    o Testing Data -- The data which are used to verify how well a network
    works. They should not be used at all in the training process, so they
    provide a completely independent method of testing how well a network
