Regularization Technique

Q: What is Regularization Technique?

A regularization technique is a method in statistical modeling and Machine Learning (ML) that adds a penalty term to the training objective to constrain model parameters and reduce overfitting, improving generalization to unseen data. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Regularization techniques modify the optimization objective by adding a penalty on model complexity, usually as a function of model parameters. Common penalties include L1 (lasso), L2 (ridge), and

Regularization technique is a method in statistical modeling and machine learning that adds a penalty on model complexity during training to reduce overfitting, improve generalization to new data, and support more stable, auditable models in enterprise environments.
