Summary
This PR proposes to clarify the mechanism of creation validation set generation in function
flow_from_directory
when validate_split option is used. This may be potentially important when the image files in the directory have meaningful names (for example, encode particular instance of the objects). One can imagine the following organisation of files:In such a setting validation set might get all siamese cats and terrier dogs, while the training set might get balinese cats and shepard dogs. This will heavilly affect validation metrics.
