De overfitting
Example: Overfitting kan de prestaties van een model aanzienlijk verminderen.
Definition
"De overfitting" refers to a situation in data science and artificial intelligence where a model learns the training data too well, including its noise and outliers, causing poor performance on new, unseen data. Overfitting can significantly reduce a model's ability to generalize.
Etymology
The term "de overfitting" comes from English, where 'over-' means 'excessive' and 'fitting' relates to how well a model fits the data. It humorously implies a model is 'too well dressed' for the training data, making it less adaptable to other data sets.
