CSCI467 Final

Regularization is a set of techniques used to reduce overfitting by encouraging simpler models. It works by adding a penalty term to the loss function that discourages overly large or complex weights. The two most common forms are L2 (ridge) and L1 (lasso) regularization. | L2 Regularization (Ridge / Weight Decay) adds the squared L2 norm of the weights to the loss: L(w) = original loss + λ‖w‖². This shrinks weights proportionally to their size, encouraging small, smooth parameters. Gradient
