Regularization in Machine Learning - How to Actually Prevent Overfitting (L1, L2, Dropout)

Machine learning engineers often face the challenge of overfitting, where a model performs well on training data but poorly on validation data. Regularization techniques like L2 (weight decay), L1, and dropout help prevent overfitting by controlling model complexity and stability. Developers should start with L2 regularization and add early stopping, followed by dropout if necessary, to effectively manage overfitting without underfitting.
