Overfitting, Cross-validation, Regularization

This lecture covers the concepts of overfitting, cross-validation, and regularization in the context of machine learning. It starts with a recap of nearest neighbor properties and k-nearest neighbors, then delves into polynomial curve fitting and feature expansion. The lecture explains the challenges of overfitting and underfitting, demonstrates the importance of model complexity, and introduces techniques like k-fold cross-validation. It also discusses the impact of regularization in linear regression and logistic regression, along with the significance of finding the right regularization strength. The presentation concludes with examples and demos showcasing the practical applications of these concepts.
