Overfitting

과적합

When a model fits its training data well but fails on new data.

It is like a student who memorized the practice test: perfect on those questions, lost when they change.

Detection is simple: evaluate on data the model never trained on, a validation set.

Remedies include more data, a smaller model, stopping training earlier, and regularization.
