However, while working on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pickl.ai\/blog\/machine-learning-algorithms-that-every-ml-engineer-should-know\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine Learning algorithm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one may come across the problem of Underfitting or overfitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both these aspects can impact the performance of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pickl.ai\/blog\/how-to-build-a-machine-learning-model\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine Learning model<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hence, in this blog, we are going to discuss how to avoid Underfitting and overfitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-underfitting-in-machine-learning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Underfitting_in_Machine_Learning\"><\/span><b>What is Underfitting in Machine Learning?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training data plays an important role in deciding the effectiveness of an ML model. However, any error or flaw can impact the overall analysis. In the case of Underfitting training data, the model is not able to establish a correlation between the input and output variables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underfitting results primarily because the model is too simple to work on the available data, and hence the training time escalates. It may require more input features. Hence, it is not able to deduce the right outcomes resulting in flawed output.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-overfitting-in-machine-learning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Overfitting_in_Machine_Learning\"><\/span><b>What is Overfitting in Machine Learning?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Underfitting, in the case of Overfitting, the Machine Learning model is too advanced or has too much complexity. Thus, impacting the output. A Machine Learning professional would encounter more cases of Overfitting as compared to Underfitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, an Overfitting ML model can work on data but produces less accurate output because the model has memorized the existing data points and fails to predict unseen data. Hence, an overfitted model is not something that you should be looking at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to overcome the Underfitting issue is to focus on increasing the duration of training or by adding accurate inputs. Most of the time, to avoid the Underfitting issue, the ML expert ends up adding too many features to it, leading to Overfitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may result in low bias but high variance. It means that the statistical model fits closely against the training data. And hence it is not able to generalize the new data points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying Overfitting can be difficult because the training model performs with higher accuracy than an Underfitting model. In the next segment, we will be highlighting the strategies that will help you address the issue of Underfitting and Overfitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-avoid-overfitting-in-machine-learning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Avoid_Overfitting_in_Machine_Learning\"><\/span><b>How to Avoid Overfitting in Machine Learning?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13178\" src=\"https:\/\/pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3.png\" alt=\" Overfitting in Machine Learning\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-110x73.png 110w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-255x170.png 255w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-550x367.png 550w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-800x534.png 800w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-1160x774.png 1160w, https:\/\/www.pickl.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image3-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overfitting is a common challenge in machine learning that occurs when a model learns the noise in the training data rather than the actual pattern. This leads to poor performance on new, unseen data. To ensure your machine learning model generalizes well, it\u2019s essential to implement strategies that prevent overfitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some effective techniques to avoid overfitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"k-fold-cross-validation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"K-fold_Cross_Validation\"><\/span><b>K-fold Cross Validation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K-fold cross-validation is a powerful technique to mitigate overfitting. In this method, the dataset is divided into &#8216;k&#8217; subsets or folds. The model is trained on &#8216;k-1&#8217; folds and tested on the remaining fold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process is repeated &#8216;k&#8217; times, with each fold serving as the test set once. The performance metrics are then averaged to provide a more reliable estimate of the model&#8217;s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using K-fold cross-validation, you ensure that each data point is used for both training and testing. This helps in identifying if the model is overfitting to a particular subset of data and allows adjustments to improve generalization.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"regularisation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regularisation\"><\/span><b>Regularisation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pickl.ai\/blog\/regularization-in-machine-learning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularisation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> introduces a penalty term to the loss function, discouraging the model from fitting the training data too closely.

This issue can be mitigated through several strategies. Here, we&#8217;ll explore three effective methods: reducing regularisation, changing the model architecture, and adding more features to the data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"reduce-regularisation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduce_Regularisation\"><\/span><b>Reduce Regularisation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularisation techniques are commonly used to prevent overfitting by penalizing model complexity. However, excessive regularization can lead to underfitting, where the model becomes too simplistic. To avoid this, consider reducing the strength of regularization.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Adjust Regularization Parameters:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you&#8217;re using L1 or L2 regularization, decrease the penalty term to allow the model more flexibility in fitting the data. For example, in ridge regression (L2 regularization), lower the alpha value.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Balance Regularisation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Aim for a balance between overfitting and underfitting. Experiment with different regularisation strengths to find the optimal value that captures the data patterns without being overly complex.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"change-the-model-architecture\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_Model_Architecture\"><\/span><b>Change the Model Architecture<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the architecture of your model might be too simplistic to capture the intricacies of the data. Switching to a more complex model can help in such cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Move to Non-Linear Models:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you&#8217;re using a linear model, consider switching to a non-linear model like decision trees, random forests, or support vector machines (SVMs) with non-linear kernels. These models can capture complex relationships that linear models might miss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use Ensemble Methods:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Methods like random forests and gradient boosting combine multiple models to improve predictive performance.

Thus, it can majorly impact the performance and accuracy of the model. The contributing reason for the same is the complexity of the model, which refers to the degree to which a model can capture patterns in the data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of Underfitting, the model is too simple to identify significant patterns, whereas, in the case of Overfitting, the model is too complex, leading to too much noise in the data, thus, nullifying the generalization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Underfitting and Overfitting lead to poor generalization and high-test error. Consequently, the ML model is not able to give accurate predictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to achieve a good balance between these two problems, it\u2019s important to select a model with an appropriate level of complexity that can capture the underlying patterns in the data while avoiding fitting too closely to the noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"what-is-underfitting-in-machine-learning-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_underfitting_in_machine_learning\"><\/span><b>What is underfitting in machine learning?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underfitting occurs when a machine learning model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data. This leads to poor performance on both training and test sets. The model fails to learn the relationship between input and output variables, resulting in inaccurate predictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-can-i-avoid-overfitting-in-machine-learning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_avoid_overfitting_in_machine_learning\"><\/span><b>How can I avoid overfitting in machine learning?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid overfitting, use techniques like K-fold cross-validation, which ensures the model generalizes well across different subsets of data. Regularization methods like L1 and L2 add penalty terms to reduce complexity. Feature selection and ensemble methods, such as bagging and boosting, also help in preventing overfitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-are-the-key-differences-between-underfitting-and-overfitting\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_key_differences_between_underfitting_and_overfitting\"><\/span><b>What are the key differences between underfitting and overfitting?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underfitting happens when a model is too simple and fails to capture data patterns, leading to high bias and poor performance. Overfitting occurs when a model is too complex, capturing noise instead of actual patterns, resulting in high variance and poor generalization to new data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"closing-thoughts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_Thoughts\"><\/span><b>Closing Thoughts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above discussion highlights the key difference between Overfitting and Underfitting.
