What is overfitting in PyTorch models?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Overfitting occurs when model learns training data too well.

Deep explanation

It fails to generalize due to memorization instead of learning patterns.

Real-world example

Common in small datasets.

Common mistakes

  • Training too long without regularization.

Follow-up questions

  • How to prevent overfitting?
  • What is early stopping?
