Machine Learning Fundamentals: Regularization and Cross-validation

This lecture covers the concepts of overfitting, regularization, and cross-validation in machine learning. It explains how to handle nonlinear data using polynomial curve fitting and feature expansion. The instructor discusses the importance of higher dimensions and the benefits of polynomial feature expansion. The lecture also delves into kernel functions, the representer theorem, and kernel regression. It concludes with a demonstration of kernel ridge regression and the impact of regularization on linear regression and logistic regression.
