regularization
This term describes the transition from a state of irregularity, illegality, or chaos to one of order and compliance. In administrative and legal contexts, it carries a connotation of amnesty or formalization, often used when a government decides to legitimize previously unauthorized statuses or activities to bring them under official oversight.
In technical fields like mathematics and machine learning, the word shifts toward a concept of constraint. Here, it refers to the intentional introduction of restrictions to prevent a system from becoming too complex or overly sensitive to noise, ensuring that the resulting model remains generalizable rather than just memorizing specific data points.
