Regularization is a vital concept in machine learning aimed at enhancing model performance by preventing overfitting. Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data too well, capturing noise and specific patterns that do not generalize to new data. Regularization introduces penalty terms to the model optimization process to simplify the model, encouraging it to learn more generalized patterns.

Types of Regularization

Several types of regularization help achieve these objectives, the most common being L1 and L2 regularization.

• L1 Regularization (Lasso Regression) adds a penalty equal to the absolute value of the coefficients. This can result in some coefficients becoming exactly zero, essentially allowing for feature selection. Read more about feature extraction techniques.
• L2 Regularization (Ridge Regression) adds a penalty equal to the square of the coefficients. This discourages complex models and typically leads to smaller coefficients. Explore L2 methods in greater detail in our regularization techniques guide.

머신 러닝의 중요성

Regularization plays a crucial role in balancing the bias-variance tradeoff. By incorporating regularization, models can achieve lower variance at a slight cost of increased bias, which generally leads to better performance on unseen data.

In fields like deep learning, regularization techniques are integral to model development. They ensure that while the model learns complex representations, it does not rely too heavily on noise within the dataset.

AI/ML 분야 애플리케이션

• Image Recognition: Regularization is essential in training models for image recognition, where a model might otherwise memorize specific patterns in the training data rather than generalizing across diverse images.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): In NLP, regularization prevents models from overfitting on training text, ensuring they can handle diverse language inputs effectively.

Distinguishing from Related Concepts

While regularization helps with model simplification, techniques like model pruning physically reduce model size without modifying the learning process. Regularization enhances learning efficiency by penalizing complexity, whereas pruning focuses on inference efficiency by eliminating non-essential neurons or features.

Additionally, regularization differs from hyperparameter tuning, which involves optimizing the parameters that dictate the learning process, including regularization's own influence on model training.
