Overfitting in Machine Learning and Computer Vision

Overfitting is when a model fits exactly against its training data. The quality of a model worsens when the machine learning model you trained overfits to training data rather than understanding new and unseen data. There are several reasons why overfitting can occur and responding to these causes by applying
