Regularization for Deep Learning: A Taxonomy

How Regularization Helps Deep Learning: A Simple Map

Deep learning models often learn too much from their examples, and that's where regularization steps in.
This idea isn't one trick, it's many ways to guide models so they learn what matters.
Some methods change the data, others tweak the model's shape or architecture, some adjust the error the model tries to fix, and others change how the model learns during optimization.
This article groups those approaches into a clear, easy map that shows how they relate, and why some look different but do similar jobs.
We don't list every single method, instead we point to the main groups so it's quicker to understand.
The map makes it easier to pick a right fix when a model overfits or acts oddly.
Finally, you get simple practical tips for people who use models and for those making new regularization ideas, so the next experiment feels less random, and more directed.
It helps both beginners and pros, and often saves time.
Try mixing methods, few simple changes can make big difference.
