Study Notes

Regularization

Ridge Regression (L2 Regularization) adds a penalty equal to the sum of the squares of the coefficients to the loss function
Lasso Regression (L1 Regularization) adds a penalty equal to the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients to the loss function
Elastic Net combines L1 and L2 regularization

Implementing Regularization

To add L1 regularization to a logistic regression, select "L1" under "Regularization type" in the "Logistic Regression" module

Causes of Overfitting

Using complex models with too many parameters relative to the size of the dataset
Having insufficient training data, making the model susceptible to noise
Presence of noise in the data, leading the model to learn patterns that do not generalize

Consequences of Overfitting

Poor generalization, where the model performs well on the training data but poorly on new, unseen data
Model becomes unreliable for practical use due to lack of generalization

Supervised Learning

A key concept in machine learning and AI, where an algorithm learns from labeled training data to make predictions or decisions
Involves training a model on a labeled dataset to learn a mapping from inputs to outputs
Goal is for the model to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data

Types of Supervised Learning

Regression: used for predicting continuous values
Examples: predicting stock prices, estimating portfolio returns
Classification: used for predicting discrete categories
Examples: credit scoring, predicting loan defaults
