A major problem in machine learning is still overfitting, which produces models that do well on training data but poorly on unknown data. The overfitting challenge is examined in this study along with its sources, effects, and practical solutions. In order to improve classification performance, we go over regularization strategies, data augmentation, ensemble learning, and model pruning. We also look at the trade-off between generalization and model complexity, highlighting the significance of reliable assessment techniques. We offer insights into maximizing model performance while avoiding overfitting by contrasting different strategies. Our research helps create more dependable machine learning models that can maintain accuracy in practical settings.
