ISTQB CT-AI Question Answer
Which of the following is an example of overfitting?
The model is not able to generalize to accommodate new types of data
The model is too simplistic for the data
The model is missing relationships between the inputs and outputs
The model discards data it considers to be noise or outliers
The syllabus defines overfitting as:
“Overfitting is when the ML model learns the training data so well that it is unable to generalize to accommodate new data.”
This occurs when the model memorizes the training data, including noise, instead of learning the general patterns.
