Underfitting versus overfitting

When designing a neural network to solve a specific problem, we may have lots of moving parts, and have to take care of many things at the same time such as:

  • Preparing your dataset
  • Choosing the number of layers/number of neurons
  • Choosing optimizer hyper-parameters

If we focus on the second point, it leads us to learn about two problems that might occur when choosing or designing a neural network architecture/structure.

The first of these problems is if your model is too big for the amount, or complexity, of your training data. As the model has so many parameters, it can easily just learn exactly what it sees in your training set even down to the noise that is present in the data. This is a problem because ...
