Hi guys, so in this video, we'll be learning about regularization. Okay, so what is regularization and where should we use it? That's the big question, right? So, if you search it on Google or Wikipedia, you will get this definition.
Introduction to Ridge Regression with geometric intuition, code, and explanation of regularization to reduce overfitting in linear models.

Key Takeaways
- Regularization helps reduce overfitting by adding penalty terms to the loss function.
- Ridge regression uses L2 regularization to shrink coefficients and improve model generalization.
- Elastic Net combines Ridge and Lasso to leverage benefits of both regularization types.
- Choosing the right hyperparameter alpha is crucial for balancing bias and variance.
- Ridge regression can improve predictive performance on unseen data compared to simple linear regression.
What the video covers
- The video introduces the concept of regularization and its importance in machine learning to reduce overfitting.
- It explains different types of regularization techniques including Ridge (L2), Lasso (L1), and Elastic Net (combination of Ridge and Lasso).
- The problem of overfitting is described as a model performing well on training data but poorly on testing data.
- Linear regression basics are reviewed, focusing on finding the best fit line (Y = MX + B).
- The Ridge regression formula is introduced by adding a penalty term lambda times the square of coefficients to the loss function.
- A practical example calculation of loss with Ridge regression is demonstrated.
- The dataset used includes 10 input features such as body mass index, average blood pressure, and blood serum measurements.
- The hyperparameter alpha (equivalent to lambda) controls the regularization strength.
- Performance comparison shows Ridge regression slightly outperforms standard linear regression on newer datasets.
- The video emphasizes that Ridge regression results in a less complex model, helping to avoid overfitting.

Speaker A
Regularization is this technique using which you induce some added information in a machine learning model so that you can reduce overfitting. Okay, so regularizations available. So there was stacking, I'm sorry, there was bagging, there was
Speaker A
boosting, and then there was regularization. Okay, so it's a very important concept, especially when you're dealing with regression, linear regression as well as logistic regression, or because we use perceptron then. Okay, the second one is Lasso,
Speaker A
is from L1 regularization, and the third one is Elastic Net, which is basically a combination of Ridge plus Lasso. Okay, so this video memory card is okay, so the setup of the
Speaker A
is this phenomenon, this criteria,
Speaker A
where a machine learning model is performing exceptionally well on training data but not so well on the testing data. Also, performance on a different data set is giving completely different results, and that is what overfitting is. What does it mean? Okay, so the answer
Speaker A
is, so the whole idea of linear regression is to find out the best fit line, right? Y is equal to MX plus B, right? Or is
Speaker A
system is undefeated right now. Now, M would be infinite in this case.
Speaker A
It means foreign is, and the second set is test. Okay. [Music] [Music] which you add some extra thing, so that extra thing is actually this. Let me write it down: lambda, M squared. So above functions, right? So this is
Speaker A
is [Music] um, okay, so let's calculate it for the first line. Right now, let's talk about this term. This is equal to one, and M for this one is 1.5, so minus 1.5 plus square
Speaker A
and this is the, so minus 0.9 minus 1.5 over [Music] minus [Music]. This is my loss for the second leg, 2.03. So you can see this area, it's 2.25, and this line here, it's 2.03.
Speaker A
Above the machine learning model, M1 squared is [Music] is, and this is the description of the data set. So actually, there are 10 input columns: 8, 6 body mass index, average blood pressure, and six blood serum measurements. Okay, so
Speaker A
in total, there are 10 input columns or job cut target column. Column 11 is a quantitative measure of [Music]. There is this hyperparameter alpha, which is basically the lambda in the last video. My discussion by value
Speaker A
by default test data set. Okay, and you have, you can see the accuracy score is exactly the same, almost the same actually, 0.5189 either way, I guess. Uh, just one second. Yeah, 518. It like slightly
Speaker A
better performed Ridge regression over linear regression on newer data sets. So, to be honest, but the whole idea is key: this model is slightly less complex in comparison to the previous one. Okay, Lasso regression used to, you would see a
Speaker A
significant improvement in R2 score when you are dealing with newer. Okay. [Music] You can see this is the main graph, so you can see this is the data set or it's not overfitting. Okay, and the last one is alpha is equal to 200.
