Preuiperiodizacija (model si zapomni podatke učenja in ne uspe pri novih podatkih) in podpriperiodizacija (model je preprost, da bi zajel vzorce) sta dva temeljna problema v strojnem učenju. Uravnoteženje med njima — doseganje dobre generalizacije — je osrednje za gradnjo učinkovitih modelov.
Preuiperiodizacija v primerjavi s podpriperiodizacijo
OVERFITTING → the model learns the training data TOO well (including noise) →
→ performs great on training data but POORLY on new/unseen data (doesn't generalize)
→ too complex; memorizes rather than learns general patterns
→ like memorizing answers vs understanding the concept
UNDERFITTING → the model is TOO SIMPLE to capture the underlying patterns →
→ performs poorly on BOTH training and new data
→ not enough complexity/capacity to learn the patterns
→ the goal is GENERALIZATION: learn real patterns → perform well on NEW data
