What is Underfitting

Machine Learning and Data Science Techniques for Effective Government Service Delivery
It is expected that machine learning model learn from the training data and analyze the patterns. However, if the ML model doesn’t work as expected then underfitting occurs.

Abstract
New age technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning are playing a crucial role in many applications. The chapter focuses on development, monitoring, and management approaches to machine learning implementation for effective government service deliveries. Government forms different policies and aims to successfully pass them to the citizens. The government service deliveries include many sectors like healthcare system, education policies, foreign policies, infrastructure and construction policies, public transportation policies, etc. Machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and artificial intelligence (AI) provide many methods like time series analysis, regression, classification, reinforcement learning, clustering, dimensionality reduction, long short-term memory, etc. These methods help retrieving meaningful data from the large volume and predict the desired results. These technologies already revolutionized many sectors like automating the application processes, fetching the relevant and required data instantly, etc.

Corresponds to the event when a machine learning model does not learn the patterns present within the training set properly for reasons such as incorrect parameter selection or a small number of epochs for the case of neural networks. A machine learning that suffers from underfitting would fail to return acceptable results from the within-dataset experiments and the generalization experiments.

Understanding Convolutional Neural Network With TensorFlow: CNN
Underfitting occurs when a mathematical model or machine learning algorithm cannot reflect the fundamental patterns in data; it works well just on training examples but badly on testing data. Its recurrence merely indicates that our model or method does not adequately suit the data. It often occurs when there needs to be more data to develop an appropriate model and while attempting to construct a linear regression model with insufficient nonlinear data. In such situations, the machine learning model's rules are too simple and flexible also to be used for such little data; hence, the model will likely produce many incorrect predictions. Underfitting may be prevented by employing more data and limiting the number of characteristics via feature selection.
