Explicit Regularization

Explicit regularization in machine learning involves adding penalty terms to optimization objectives to constrain model complexity and improve generalization. Recent research focuses on understanding the interplay between explicit and implicit regularization, particularly in deep learning models like convolutional neural networks and transformers, and how this interplay affects performance in various tasks such as image restoration, matrix completion, and continual learning. This research is crucial for developing more robust and efficient machine learning algorithms, addressing challenges like overfitting and catastrophic forgetting, and ultimately improving the reliability and performance of AI systems across diverse applications.
