Overfitting

Overfitting refers to a model that models the training data too well. Overfitting happens
when a model learns the detail and noise in the training dataset to the extent that it
negatively impacts the performance of the model.

Sign that the model has Overfitted : High Training data Accuracy & very low Test data Accuracy

Overfitting

Causes for Overfitting:

1. Less Data
2. Increased Complexity of the model
3. More number of layers in Neural Network

Preventing Overfitting by:

1. Using more data


2. Reduce the number of layers in the Neural network
3. Early Stopping
4. Bias – Variance Tradeoff
5. Use Dropouts
