Mahla Abdolahnejad

Mahla Abdolahnejad is a Ph.D. candidate in systems and computer engineering with Carleton University, Canada. She also holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in biomedical engineering, which first exposed her to the field of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks, in particular. Her Ph.D. research is focused on deep unsupervised learning for computer vision applications. She is particularly interested in exploring the differences between a human's way of learning from the visual world and a machine's way of learning from the visual world, and how to push machine learning algorithms toward learning and thinking like humans.

Regularization


Since deep neural networks are highly flexible models, overfitting is an issue that can often arise when training them. Therefore, one very important part of becoming a deep learning expert is knowing how to detect overfitting, and subsequently how to address the overfitting problem in your model. Regularization techniques are an important group of methods specifically aimed at reducing overfitting in machine learning models. Understanding regularization techniques thoroughly and being able to apply them to your deep neural networks is an essential step toward building deep neural networks in order to solve real-life problems. In this section, you will learn about the underlying concepts of regularization, providing you with the foundation required for the following sections, where you will learn how to implement various types of regularization methods using Keras.

The Need for Regularization

The main goal of machine learning is to build models that perform well on not only...
