Definition:
Regularization is a technique used in machine learning and optimization to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function. It encourages simpler models by discouraging overly complex or high-magnitude parameters, improving the model’s ability to generalize to unseen data.
Types:
- L1
- L2
- Combined
