# Squared L2 regularization mathematical notation

Squared L2 regularization is a recurring research-paper notation family. Adds squared parameter magnitude to an objective to discourage large weights…

## Public overview

Squared L2 regularization is a recurring research-paper notation family. Adds squared parameter magnitude to an objective to discourage large weights with a smooth quadratic penalty.

Squared L2 regularization: Adds squared parameter magnitude to an objective to discourage large weights with a smooth quadratic penalty. Example: Trade fitting quality against keeping weights small.
