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?
