Surface Regularization

Surface regularization techniques aim to improve the stability and generalization of machine learning models by controlling the smoothness and shape of learned functions or representations. Current research focuses on developing novel regularization methods tailored to specific model architectures, such as neural implicit surfaces and large language models, often employing techniques like annealing, noise injection, and control of isotropy in embedding spaces to achieve better performance and robustness. These advancements are significant because they address challenges like overfitting, improve the efficiency of training, and lead to more accurate and reliable models across diverse applications, including 3D reconstruction and natural language processing.
