Description

I was hoping that maybe the examples should contain an explicit split of the data at least into train/valid/test in order to enforce good practices overall and not mislead by accident any new comers. I'm referring to this conversation for more details and discussions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's examples and the linked PyTorch forum discussion about common data-splitting patterns. Done should mean the relevant examples explicitly separate data into train, validation, and test sets without misleading newcomers.
