There have been entire textbooks dedicated to this one model. For now, we’ll just cover what you need to know to pass the interview.


Now, say I want to prevent overfitting
  • L1 Regression (Lasso Regularisation)

  • L2 Regression (Ridge Regularisation)

  • grid search

  • Extra cool algorithms

    • beam search
    • Optimisation algortihms (heuristic)

or Linear Regression:

  • L1 Regularization (Lasso): Adds a penalty equal to the absolute value of the magnitude of coefficients. This can lead to some coefficients being zero, effectively performing feature selection.
  • L2 Regularization (Ridge): Introduces a penalty term equal to the square of the magnitude of coefficients. This discourages large values of coefficients but does not set them to zero.
