A model too simple, trained too little, or given too little data to capture the structure, so that the error is high on the training data and on new data alike.

In Networks in practice

Underfitting. The model is not a good fit to the training data. The size of E is a good indication. The model may be too simple, there may not be enough data, or the data may be so noisy that the output can never be predicted very accurately.
