Overfitting Intuition

Build an intuitive understanding of overfitting, one of the most important concepts in machine learning.

The persistent challenge in machine learning

A critical concept in using machine learning effectively is overfitting. Overfitting is where a model’s predictions are much less accurate for data not used in training the model (i.e., less accurate with new data).

Now here’s the thing.

Crafting machine learning models that overfit is ridiculously easy. Much of ...
