Model Complexity vs Generalization

Scenario

You're comparing several supervised learning models with different levels of complexity and want to choose one that will perform well on unseen data.

How would you explain the trade-offs between model complexity and generalization?

How would you explain the trade-offs between model complexity and generalization?

Bias versus variance intuition
How regularization changes effective complexity
How cross-validation estimates generalization
How to diagnose underfitting versus overfitting from train and validation behavior
