• Abstract summary: Overfitting is where a model exhibits superior performance on training data but falters on unseen data. This paper introduces the Overfitting Index (OI), a novel metric devised to quantitatively assess a model's tendency to overfit. Our results underscore the variable overfitting behaviors across architectures and highlight the mitigative impact of data augmentation.

• Abstract: In the rapidly evolving domain of machine learning, ensuring model generalizability remains a quintessential challenge. Overfitting, where a model exhibits superior performance on training data but falters on unseen data, is a recurrent concern. This paper introduces the Overfitting Index (OI), a novel metric devised to quantitatively assess a model's tendency to overfit. Through extensive experiments on the Breast Ultrasound Images Dataset (BUS) and the MNIST dataset using architectures such as MobileNet, U-Net, ResNet, Darknet, and ViT-32, we illustrate the utility and discernment of the OI. Our results underscore the variable overfitting behaviors across architectures and highlight the mitigative impact of data augmentation, especially on smaller and more specialized datasets. The ViT-32's performance on MNIST further emphasizes the robustness of certain models and the dataset's comprehensive nature. By providing an objective lens to gauge overfitting, the OI offers a promising avenue to advance model optimization and ensure real-world efficacy.

  Recent work has argued that as the size of a dataset increases, the performance of a model trained on that dataset will increase. We argue that this scaling law relationship depends on metrics used to measure performance that may not correspond with how different groups of people perceive the quality of models' output. Different communities may also have values in tension with each other, leading to difficult, potentially irreconcilable choices about metrics used for model evaluations.
