Methodologies and recipes to regularize nearly any machine learning and deep learning model using cutting-edge technologies such as Stable Diffusion, GPT-3, and Unity
Key Features
- Learn how to diagnose whether regularization is needed for any machine learning model
- Regularize different types of ML models using a broad range of techniques and methods
- Get the best of your models using state of the art Computer Vision and NLP
Book Description
Deploying machine learning solutions is all about getting robust results on new, unseen data. To achieve such results, one way is regularization. Regularization can take many forms and can be used in many ways, and not all methods apply to all cases. This book aims at providing the right tools and methods to handle any case properly, with ready-to-use working codes as well as theoretical explanations whenever possible.
After an introduction to regularization and methods to diagnose when to use it, we will start implementing regularization techniques on linear models such as linear and logistic regression, and tree-based models such as random forest and gradient boosting.
The book will then introduce specific regularization methods based on data. High cardinality features and imbalanced datasets may require specific regularization methods that will be explored.
In the last four chapters, the book will cover regularization for deep learning models. After reviewing general methods that apply to any type of neural network, the book will dive into more NLP-specific methods for RNNs and transformers, as well as using BERT or GPT-3. We will close with regularization for Computer Vision, covering CNN specifics, as well as the use of generative models such as GANs and Stable Diffusion, and third-party software like Unity.
What you will learn
- How to diagnose overfitting properly and when regularization is needed
- Regularizing common linear models such as logistic regression
- Get a deeper knowledge of regularizing tree-based models such as XGBoost
- Leverage structured data to regularize ML models
- Learn general techniques to regularize deep learning models
- Discover specific regularization techniques for NLP problems using Transformers
- Understand the regularization in Computer Vision models and CNN architectures
- Apply cutting-edge computer vision regularization with generative models
Who This Book Is For
Whether you are a data scientist, a machine learning engineer, or just a machine learning enthusiast, if you want to get hands-on knowledge of the available methods to improve the performances of your models, this book is for you.
Basic, hands-on knowledge of Python is expected to get the most out of the proposed codes. Also, basic concepts of ML and DL are reminded to smooth the learning curve, no matter their level. This book is also aimed at experienced professionals willing to use state-of-the-art methods for regularization.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to THE SAINT BOOKSTORE, Southport, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
