L1 and L2 Norms and Regularization

Towards AI

Most, if not all data scientists are familiar with l1 and l2 regularization. However, what may not be as apparent, is why they’re called l1 and l2 regularization, and how exactly they work. In this…

Bayesian Priors and Regularization Penalties

Towards Data Science

Bayesian methods of performing machine learning offer several advantages over their counterparts, notably the ability to estimate uncertainty and the option to encode contextual knowledge as prior…

Why Norms Matters — Machine Learning

Towards Data Science

Evaluation is a crucial step in all modeling and machine learning problems. Since we are often making predictions on entire datasets, providing a single number that summarizes the performance of our…
