How can regularization techniques contribute to feature selection?
- By adding a penalty term to the loss function
- By avoiding overfitting
- By reducing model complexity
- By shrinking coefficients towards zero
Regularization techniques contribute to feature selection by shrinking the coefficients of less important features towards zero. This has the effect of effectively removing these features from the model, thus achieving feature selection.
