Thou Shalt Not Overfit Venting my spleen about the persistent inanity about overfitting.

Overfitting, as it is colloquially described in data science and machine learning, doesn’t exist. www.argmin.net/p/thou-shalt...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
