👉 In artificial intelligence and machine learning, overpruning is a technique used to optimize the performance of a model by reducing its complexity. This technique involves pruning certain layers in the neural network or deep learning models to reduce the number of parameters that are being trained on. Overpruning can be useful when the model has too many parameters (i.e., it's too complex) and not enough data points to train effectively. It is often applied during training, before making predictions, to avoid overfitting
