NumPy is the go-to library in Python for scientific computing. It supercharges your ability to work with numbers!

Regularization in Machine Learning

Overfitting: Model learns training data too well, poor performance on new data. Underfitting: Model too simple. Regularization helps.

Overfitting and Underfitting

It adds absolute value of coefficients to loss. Encourages sparsity, feature selection.

L1 regularization (Lasso)

It adds a square of coefficients to loss. Shrinks coefficients towards zero, prevents overfitting.

L2 regularization (Ridge)

It offers benefits of both: feature selection and preventing overfitting.

Elastic Net combines L1 & L2

It sets input features to zero during training. Prevents overreliance on single features.

Dropout randomly

Stop training before overfitting. Prevents model complexity.

Early stopping

Understand different techniques to build better models.

Regularization is crucial for ML
