This lecture explains the geometric intuition behind why Lasso solutions are sparse, focusing on a 2D example where the L1 norm constraint creates ellipsoidal contours, leading to a solution with a low-dimensional face. The instructor also discusses the behavior of coefficients as the regularization parameter changes in Lasso regression.
