What is Underfitting and overfitting in machine learning and how do you deal with it?
For the uninitiated, in data science, overfitting simply means that the learning model is far too dependent on training data while underfitting means that the model has a poor relationship with the training data. Ideally, both of these should not exist in models, but they usually are hard to eliminate.
How do we resolve the model overfitting Underfitting issues?
Handling Underfitting:
- Get more training data.
- Increase the size or number of parameters in the model.
- Increase the complexity of the model.
- Increasing the training time, until cost function is minimised.
Why is my model overfitting my training data?
Your model is overfitting your training data when you see that the model performs well on the training data but does not perform well on the evaluation data. This is because the model is memorizing the data it has seen and is unable to generalize to unseen examples.
What’s the difference between Underfitting and overfitting?
In addition, the samples from the real function and the approximations of different models are displayed. The models have polynomial features of different degrees. We can see that a linear function (polynomial with degree 1) is not sufficient to fit the training samples. This is called underfitting.

What does it mean when a statistical model is overfitted?
Increase the number of epochs or increase the duration of training to get better results. A statistical model is said to be overfitted, when we train it with a lot of data (just like fitting ourselves in oversized pants!). When a model gets trained with so much of data, it starts learning from the noise and inaccurate data entries in our data set.
