Overfitting, Underfitting, and Generalization
When you train a machine learning model, you want it to learn the underlying patterns in your data so it can make accurate predictions on new, unseen data. However, the model's ability to generalize depends on how complex it is and how its hyperparameters are set. If your model is too complex, it might memorize the training data—including noise and outliers—rather than learning general trends. This is known as overfitting. On the other hand, if your model is too simple, it may fail to capture important relationships in the data, resulting in poor performance even on the training set. This is called underfitting. Hyperparameters such as tree depth in decision trees, the number of neighbors in k-nearest neighbors, or the regularization strength in linear models directly influence whether your model is likely to underfit, overfit, or strike the right balance for good generalization.
Overfitting occurs when a model performs well on training data but poorly on test data. Underfitting occurs when a model performs poorly on both.
