This document discusses techniques for addressing overfitting in deep neural networks, including regularization methods like L1 and L2 regularization and dropout. It begins by defining overfitting and contrasting it with underfitting and normal fitting. Next, it explains that overfitting occurs in deep neural networks due to their large number of parameters, continuous gradient updating, and the scale sensitiveness of cross entropy loss. The document then introduces regularization as a way to reduce model complexity and prevent overfitting by reducing weights for uninformative features. It proceeds to explain L1 and L2 regularization, providing illustrations, and then defines dropout and its implementation in PyTorch.

networks less complex by reducing the value of the weights for the uninformative features of the dataset. In other words, we regularize the model using the following methods: ● L1 Regularization ● L2 Regularization ● Dropout ● etc
