about the technology
Deep learning models that generate highly accurate results on their training data can struggle with messy real-world test datasets. Regularization strategies help overcome these errors with techniques that help your models handle noisy data and changing requirements. By learning to tweak training data and loss functions, and employ other regularization approaches, you can ensure a model delivers excellent generalized performance and avoid overfitting errors.about the book
Regularization in Deep Learning teaches you how to improve your model performance with a toolbox of regularization techniques. It covers both well-established regularization methods and groundbreaking modern approaches. Each technique is introduced using graphics, illustrations, and step-by-step coding walkthroughs that make complex math easy to follow.You’ll learn how to augment your dataset with random noise, improve your model’s architecture, and apply regularization in your optimization procedures. You’ll soon be building focused deep learning models that avoid sprawling complexity and deliver more accurate results even with new or messy data sets.
