## Public overview

L1 regularization is a recurring research-paper notation family. Adds the sum of parameter magnitudes to an objective, often encouraging many learned coordinates to become exactly zero.

L1 regularization: Adds the sum of parameter magnitudes to an objective, often encouraging many learned coordinates to become exactly zero. Example: Penalize total absolute parameter magnitude alongside prediction error.
