Overfitting data is a well-known phenomenon related with the generation of a model that mimics too closely (or exactly) a particular instance of data, and may therefore fail to predict future observations reliably. In practice, this…

We give describe several models for $(\infty,n)$-categories, with an emphasis on models given by diagrams of sets and simplicial sets. We look most closely at the cases when $n \leq 2$, then summarize methods of generalizing for all $n$.
