Question 1

What does it mean for a model to generalize well?

It predicts outcomes accurately on training data only.
It performs efficiently on both training and unseen data.
It only captures noise in training data.

💡 Hint: Consider how well the model works outside its training set.

Question 2

Overfitting is best described as:

True
False

💡 Hint: Remember how complexity affects model performance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A student trained a complex neural network on a small dataset and observed excellent accuracy on training data but poor performance on validation data. What could be reasons for this outcome?

💡 Hint: Consider model complexity versus the amount of data.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a scenario where a model exhibits characteristics of both underfitting and overfitting. How would you approach making the model perform better?

💡 Hint: Think critically about the different errors and model adjustments that need to be made.
