  1. regularization

    Regularization is a technique used in machine learning and statistics to prevent overfitting in a predictive model, particularly in the case of regression models. It does this by adding a penalty term to the loss function, which reduces the complexity of the model, constrains the coefficients of the model and improves the model's ability to generalize from training data to unseen data. Regularization methods include techniques like Lasso, Ridge, and Elastic Net.

  1. Regularization

    Regularization, in mathematics and statistics and particularly in the fields of machine learning and inverse problems, refers to a process of introducing additional information in order to solve an ill-posed problem or to prevent overfitting. This information is usually of the form of a penalty for complexity, such as restrictions for smoothness or bounds on the vector space norm. A theoretical justification for regularization is that it attempts to impose Occam's razor on the solution. From a Bayesian point of view, many regularization techniques correspond to imposing certain prior distributions on model parameters. The same idea arose in many fields of science. For example, the least-squares method can be viewed as a very simple form of regularization. A simple form of regularization applied to integral equations, generally termed Tikhonov regularization after Andrey Nikolayevich Tikhonov, is essentially a trade-off between fitting the data and reducing a norm of the solution. More recently, non-linear regularization methods, including total variation regularization have become popular.
