It improves generalization and reduces overfitting. There are different types of regularization, including L1, L2, and Elastic Net. Regularization can be used in various machine learning models, such as linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, and neural networks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
