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.

πŸ’‘ 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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what happens with simple models.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about ways to reduce complexity without losing significant predictive power.

Question 2

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?

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