Aug 16, 2017 at 7:55 comment added rinspy @Aaron Isn't "mismatch between the training and validation data" what we call "noise"? I.e. it is still the same overfitting, it's just that increasing the number of samples will not increase the signal-to-noise ratio. See also this answer: stats.stackexchange.com/questions/274952/…
Aug 15, 2017 at 17:00 comment added Aaron There can be other reasons for why there is a gap between training and validation errors. For example, there can be a mismatch between the training and the validation data.
Aug 15, 2017 at 16:44 comment added rinspy By that definition, you do have overfitting but it's not necessarily a problem :)
Aug 15, 2017 at 16:41 comment added Hossein Thanks for your response. I think another definition of overfitting is when there are a significant difference between training and validation errors. By this definition, I have the overfitting problem.
