https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization%20%28mathematics%29 | In mathematics, statistics, finance, computer science, particularly in machine learning and inverse problems, regularization is a process that changes the result answer to be "simpler". It is often used to obtain results for ill-posed problems or to prevent overfitting.
Although regularization procedures can be divide... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization%20%28physics%29 | In physics, especially quantum field theory, regularization is a method of modifying observables which have singularities in order to make them finite by the introduction of a suitable parameter called the regulator. The regulator, also known as a "cutoff", models our lack of knowledge about physics at unobserved sc... |
