// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Regularization
Techniques used to prevent machine learning models from overfitting by adding a penalty to the loss function for complex models.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A set of techniques (e.g., L1, L2, Dropout) applied during machine learning model training to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function, discouraging overly complex models and improving generalization to unseen data.
BACKGROUND
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), alignment aims to steer AI systems toward a person's or group's intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. An AI system is considered aligned if it advances the intended objectives. A misaligned AI system pursues unintended objectives.
