L1正则化方案L1正则化通过在损失函数中添加权重绝对值之和促使模型产生稀疏权重矩阵。实现方案如下def build_l1_model(): model keras.Sequential([ keras.layers.Dense(512, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l1(0.001), input_shape[len(train_dataset.keys())]), keras.layers.Dense(256, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l1(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(128, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l1(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(64, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l1(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(1) ]) optimizer keras.optimizers.RMSprop(0.001) model.compile(lossmse, optimizeroptimizer, metrics[mae, mse]) return model l1_model build_l1_model() l1_history l1_model.fit( norm_train_data, train_labels, epochs1000, validation_split0.2, verbose0, callbacks[early_stop] )L1正则化的关键特点产生稀疏解适合特征选择场景正则化系数(0.001)需要网格搜索确定计算梯度时需处理绝对值函数的不可导点4. L2正则化方案L2正则化添加权重平方和惩罚项使权重趋向于较小数值def build_l2_model(): model keras.Sequential([ keras.layers.Dense(512, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l2(0.001), input_shape[len(train_dataset.keys())]), keras.layers.Dense(256, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l2(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(128, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l2(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(64, activationrelu, kernel_regularizerkeras.regularizers.l2(0.001)), keras.layers.Dense(1) ]) optimizer keras.optimizers.RMSprop(0.001) model.compile(lossmse, optimizeroptimizer, metrics[mae, mse]) return model l2_model build_l2_model() l2_history l2_model.fit( norm_train_data, train_labels, epochs1000, validation_split0.2, verbose0, callbacks[early_stop] )L2正则化的优势对异常值不敏感稳定性更好计算效率高于L1处处可导适合需要所有特征参与预测的场景5.
