// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Underfitting

When a machine learning model is too simple and fails to capture the important patterns in the training data, leading to poor performance on both training and new data.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

A phenomenon in machine learning where a model is too simplistic to capture the underlying structure of the training data, resulting in high bias, poor performance on both training and test sets, and an inability to generalize effectively.
