Your ensemble model is overfitting the training data. How can you prevent this in your data mining project?
If your ensemble model is too cozy with the training data, it's time to generalize better. To prevent overfitting in your data mining project:
- Introduce cross-validation. Use different subsets of your data to train and validate the model.
- Prune the model. Reduce complexity by removing features that contribute little to the prediction.
- Employ regularization techniques. Add a penalty for complexity to keep the model simpler and more robust.

Some steps: 1. Cross validation is the first step to battle overfitting. K-fold cross validation gives more opportunity for the model to generalize. 2. One needs to monitor the Train and Validation Loss during model development phase and early stopping rules can be applied. 3. Grid search can be used to decide the best hyperparameters.
