Which techniques best mitigate overfitting in my pipelines?

Regularization is your overfitting insurance policy.
Ian Goodfellow

How It Works:

Apply methods like dropout, L1/L2 regularization, early stopping, and data augmentation to constrain model complexity.

Key Benefits:

  • Robust models: Resist noise and outliers.
  • Simpler tuning: Fewer surprises in hyperparameter search.
  • Better ROI: Models remain useful longer.

Real-World Use Cases:

  • Medical AI: Ensure diagnostic models generalize across hospitals.
  • E-commerce: Stabilize recommendation quality as catalog changes.
