Overfitting Regularization in neural networks is a crucial technique used to prevent overfitting , which occurs when a model learns the training data too well, including its noise and outliers, leading to poor performance on unseen data. Overfitting happens especially when the network is too complex relative to the amount and variety of the training data. Regularization techniques modify the learning process to reduce the complexity of the model , encouraging it to learn more general patterns that can generalize better to new, unseen data. Common Techniques Here are some common regularization techniques used in neural networks: 1. L1 Regularization (Lasso Regression): Adds a penalty equal to the absolute value of the magnitude of coefficients. This can lead to sparse models where some weights become exactly zero, effectively removing some features/weights. Lasso can struggle in situations where the number of predictors is much larger than the number of observation...
