soft_convergence_limit
Maximum number of iterations without improvement in cross-validation
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: INTEGER
Default: 0
Description
The purpose of this control is to cease auto-refinement when improvement in the cross-validation score appears to have stalled or occurs too slowly.
A rolling average of improvement in the cross-validation score is computed
over soft_convergence_limit iterations. Auto-refinement is halted if the
average becomes smaller than the convergence_tolerance. The average is
computed but ignored until the number of iterations has exceeded
soft_convergence_limit.
The default setting of 0 disables soft convergence.
