Parameter Regularization

Technique

Parameter regularization is a technique used in machine learning and statistical modeling to prevent overfitting by penalizing large coefficient values in the model’s objective function. This method adds a penalty term to the loss function, encouraging the model to learn simpler, more generalized relationships from the data. Common forms include L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) regularization, which shrink or zero out less important parameters. It aims to improve the model’s performance on unseen data. This technique enhances model robustness.
