Overview of this book

This Learning Path is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You'll be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this Learning Path will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries. You'll bring the use of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Next, you'll learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving. You'll implement different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have obtained in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms by Giuseppe Bonaccorso • Mastering TensorFlow 1.x by Armando Fandango • Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Rajalingappaa Shanmugamani

Regularized regression


In linear regression, the model that we trained returns the best-fit parameters on the training data. However, finding the best-fit parameters on the training data may lead to overfitting.

Note

Overfitting means that the model fits best to the training data but gives a greater error on the test data. Thus, we generally add a penalty term to the model to obtain a simpler model.

This penalty term is called a regularization term, and the regression model thus obtained is called a regularized regression model. There are three main types of regularization models:

  • Lasso regression: In lasso regularization, also known as L1 regularization, the regularization term is the lasso parameter α multiplied with the sum of absolute values of the weights w. Thus, the loss function is as follows: 
  • Ridge regression: In ridge regularization, also known as L2 regularization, the regularization term is the ridge parameter α multiplied with the ith sum of the squares of the weightsw. Thus, the...
