How Data Leakage Can Hurt Model Performance

Ivan Palomares Carrascosa leaks some data:

In this article, you will learn what data leakage is, how it silently inflates model performance, and practical patterns for preventing it across common workflows.

Topics we will cover include:

  • Identifying target leakage and removing target-derived features.
  • Preventing train–test contamination by ordering preprocessing correctly.
  • Avoiding temporal leakage in time series with proper feature design and splits.

Read on to learn more.
