Overfitting happens when a model learns the detail and noise in the training data to the extent that it negatively impacts the performance of the model on new data. A model that is overfitted is inaccurate because the trend does not reflect the reality present in the data. It occurs when we build models that closely explain a training data set, but fail to generalize when applied to other data sets. You check for hints of overfitting by using a training set and a test set or a training, validation and test set. The best descriptive model is accurate on the observed data. The first step when dealing with overfitting is to decrease the complexity of the model. To have a reference dataset, i used the dont overfit.

Overfitting occurs when the model is too closely aligned with limited training data that may contain noise or errors.
The learning parameter controls how fast a network learns from data, but it may not suffice in preventing overfitting the training data. Note that if the number of parameters in the network is much smaller than the total number of points in the training set, then there is little or no chance of overfitting.

Underfitting, the counterpart of overfitting, happens when a machine learning model is not complex enough to accurately capture relationships. With, say, gaussian noise, increasing the amount of data in your training set increases the datatonoise ratio, reducing overfitting. Generalization and overfitting evaluation of machine.
