Explain the concept of cross-validation in detail and discuss its advantages and disadvantages compared to a simple train-validation split. Consider scenarios where cross-validation might be particularly beneficial or detrimental.




Explanation:

Cross-validation involves partitioning the data into subsets and training the model on different combinations of these subsets, which helps in obtaining a more robust estimate of model performance. However, it can be computationally expensive and may not always be necessary or beneficial, especially with large datasets or when computational resources are limited.
