question: Patience reset in EarlyStopping once loss has improved
context: Hey,
  im wondering whether the patience parameter is or can be reset once we have started improving again. Reading the docs it sounds like the patience parameter is the absolute number of steps the loss is allowed to not decrease. Is it possible to have it such that the patience counter is reset to its original value whenever we have improved?
answer: This is exactly how patience is supposed to work. As you can see here, the counter resets to 0 upon improvement.
