I have some questions.
1) How to avoid overfitting?
2) What is the right way of evaluating a neural net? While optimizing I get lot of good results I dont know which one to pick.
use the cross validation. In every epoch calculate the error of patterns that not exist in trainig set. When the error begin increase just terminate training process. It is simple.
