Linear Algebra for Data Science
l1 regularization, also known as Lasso regularization, is a technique used in machine learning to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty equal to the absolute value of the magnitude of coefficients to the loss function. This method encourages sparsity in the model by shrinking some coefficients to zero, effectively selecting a simpler model that retains only the most important features. The result is often easier interpretation and improved performance on unseen data.
congrats on reading the definition of l1 regularization. now let's actually learn it.
