10 Questions
What term describes the situation when a model performs well on training data but poorly on new test data?
Overfitting
In machine learning, what is the term used to describe the process of estimating the output for new data points based on known training data?
Predicting
Which machine learning method will be introduced first in the text?
K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN)
What does the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) method rely on for making predictions?
Training Data Points
When a model is described as 'generalizing,' what characteristic does it possess?
It performs well on new test data.
What issue arises when a model is unable to generalize beyond the training data?
Underfitting
What outcome results from a model that is overfitting to the training data?
Poor performance on new test data points
What is the primary challenge with a model that overfits the training data?
'Generalizing' beyond training data
What does it mean when a model 'overfits' to the training data?
'Fitting' training data too closely
'Overfitting' in machine learning is often associated with which of the following?
'High variance' and memorization of training examples
