Underfitting

When a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data.

In-depth explanation

Underfitting occurs when a model lacks the complexity to learn the relationship between inputs and outputs. Signs include poor performance on both training and validation data. Solutions include using more complex models, adding features, reducing regularization, or training longer.

Examples
