Question

You are developing a new deep learning model that predicts a customer's likelihood to buy on your ecommerce site. After running an evaluation of the model against both the original training data and new test data, you find that your model is overfitting the data. You want to improve the accuracy of the model when predicting new data. What should you do?

Options

  • AIncrease the size of the training dataset, and increase the number of input features.
  • BIncrease the size of the training dataset, and decrease the number of input features.
  • CReduce the size of the training dataset, and increase the number of input features.
  • DReduce the size of the training dataset, and decrease the number of input features.

Explanation

Explanation/Reference: Feature selection is the one the ways to resolve overfitting. Which means reducing the features when the size of the training data is small, then the network tends to have greater control over the training data. so increasing the size of data would help. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/latest/dg/model-fit-underfitting-vs-overfitting.html
