Normalization vs. Regularization: Clarifying Key ML Concepts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Normalization and regularization are distinct concepts in machine learning, often confused due to similar terminology like "L2 norm." Normalization is a data preprocessing step that scales input features to a comparable range, ensuring no single feature dominates due to its magnitude. This occurs before model training. Regularization, on the other hand, is a training technique used to penalize model complexity and prevent overfitting, applied during the training process itself. AI

    The Difference Between Normalization and Regularization in Machine Learning

    <h3>Introduction: Untangling the Terms</h3><p>“Normalization” and “regularization” are two fundamental concepts in machine learning that sound related but play very different roles. Both can appear similar (especially when you hear “L2 norm” in both contexts), and this leads to c…
