Machine Learning Intermediate
model capacity
The complexity of problems that a model can learn.
Plain English Explanation
The complexity of problems that a model can learn. The more complex the problems that a model can learn, the higher the model's capacity. A model's capacity typically increases with the number of model parameters. For a formal definition of classification model capacity, see VC dimension.
How is it used?
Practitioners refer to model capacity when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
