    \n
  1. Data Augmentation: Increasing data diversity through random transformations, cropping, flipping, and other operations on training data to reduce the model’s reliance on specific samples and mitigate the risk of overfitting.<\/li>\n
  2. Regularization: Introducing regularization terms in the model training process, such as L1 regularization, L2 regularization, etc., to limit the size of model parameters, making the model simpler and avoiding overfitting.<\/li>\n
  3. Early stopping refers to monitoring the performance of the model on the validation set and stopping training when the performance starts to decline, in order to prevent overfitting on the training set.<\/li>\n
  4. During training, Dropout randomly sets some neurons to zero, reducing dependencies between neurons, lowering model complexity, and reducing the risk of overfitting.<\/li>\n
  5. Batch Normalization: Normalizing data in each batch accelerates model convergence, reduces gradient vanishing and exploding issues, and decreases the likelihood of overfitting.<\/li>\n
  6. Model architecture design: To avoid overly complex models, it is important to design the structure of the model reasonably. This can be achieved by reducing the number of hidden layers, decreasing the number of neurons in the hidden layers, and ultimately reducing the complexity of the model, thus reducing the risk of overfitting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
