Overfitting

The model memorises its examples and does badly on new ones.

Great results on training data but poor results on new data is overfitting. It usually comes from too little data, too many epochs or an oversized model.

Remedies: more and more varied data, fewer epochs, and stopping when validation loss starts rising (early stopping).

Example

Stop training when validation loss starts going up — that is where overfitting begins.
