Question 1

What does overfitting refer to in machine learning?

A model performing perfectly on training data and poorly on test data.
A model that performs equally well on both training and unseen data.
A model that fails to learn patterns in the training data.

💡 Hint: Consider the differences in performance between training and testing phases.

Question 2

True or False: Underfitting is when a model is overly complex.

True
False

💡 Hint: Reflect on what happens with simple models.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A tech company has a complex neural network that shows excellent performance in training but drops in accuracy on a validation set. How would you advise them to approach this?

💡 Hint: Think about ways to reduce complexity without losing significant predictive power.

Challenge 2 Hard

During a practical session, a student builds a decision tree with a small dataset and achieves a high accuracy on training data but fails in validation. What mitigating strategies could they employ?

💡 Hint: Consider methods that ensure the model isn't too specifically tuned to the training data.
