    Overfitting has been a common challenge in my deep learning projects, and I’ve found several techniques that work well to prevent it. I start with regularization methods like L2 and dropout to keep the model from memorizing the training data.

    Data augmentation is another key strategy, especially for images, where I create more diverse examples to improve generalization. In NLP, I use similar tricks like synonym replacement.

    I also rely on early stopping to halt training as soon as validation loss stops improving. Sometimes, simplifying the model architecture helps too—less can be more when data is limited.

    Finally, I use cross-validation to get a more reliable measure of performance. Overall, preventing overfitting is about combining these approaches and adapting them to the specific problem at hand.

    To prevent overfitting, I use dropout layers, apply L2 regularization, and implement early stopping during training.
    I also ensure the model isn’t overly complex and train it with data augmentation or more data when possible.
    Monitoring validation loss helps me fine-tune these strategies effectively.
