unusual facts about Regularization


Deep learning

Regularization methods such as weight decay ( \ell 2 -regularization) or sparsity ( \ell 1 -regularization) can be applied during training to help combat overfitting.


Dimensional regularization

Emilio Elizalde has shown that Zeta regularization and dimensional regularization are equivalent since they use the same principle of using analytic continuation in order for a series or integral to converge.

English words of Greek origin

Many words from the Hebrew Bible were transmitted to the western languages through the Greek of the Septuagint, often without morphological regularization: pharaoh (Φαραώ), seraphim (σεραφείμ, σεραφίμ), paradise (παράδεισος < Hebrew < Persian), rabbi (ραββί).
