Learn to diagnose the need for regularization in any machine learning model

Regularize different ML models using a variety of techniques and methods

Enhance the functionality of your models using state of the art computer vision and NLP techniques

Description

Regularization is an infallible way to produce accurate results with unseen data, however, applying regularization is challenging as it is available in multiple forms and applying the appropriate technique to every model is a must. The Regularization Cookbook provides you with the appropriate tools and methods to handle any case, with ready-to-use working codes as well as theoretical explanations. After an introduction to regularization and methods to diagnose when to use it, you’ll start implementing regularization techniques on linear models, such as linear and logistic regression, and tree-based models, such as random forest and gradient boosting. You’ll then be introduced to specific regularization methods based on data, high cardinality features, and imbalanced datasets. In the last five chapters, you’ll discover regularization for deep learning models. After reviewing general methods that apply to any type of neural network, you’ll dive into more NLP-specific methods for RNNs and transformers, as well as using BERT or GPT-3. By the end, you’ll explore regularization for computer vision, covering CNN specifics, along with the use of generative models such as stable diffusion and Dall-E. By the end of this book, you’ll be armed with different regularization techniques to apply to your ML and DL models.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This books presents a fair and an organized way of regularization techniques for a lot of algorithms. This book is more on applied side rather than having mathematical rigorous proofs. It gives enough mathematical background to understand algorithms and how regularization can be applied on them. One good thing is - author connects how theoretical parameters are actually represented in scikit learn framework which is helpful if you aren’t a pro with Sklearn.I particularly liked the details about how regularization can be applied to language models which is interesting. If you are not looking for mathematical proofs and are on more applied ML side, this book is a good read overall. Author has presented topics in a very organized manner with good hands-on snippets.
