Short Answer

Why can reducing regularization help a high-bias model?

Question: Answer in one to three sentences: Why might reducing or eliminating L1, L2, or dropout regularization help when avoidable bias is high, and what is the tradeoff?

Sample answer: Reducing or eliminating regularization can lower avoidable bias. The tradeoff is that variance increases.

Key points:

  • Regularization can be reduced or eliminated.
  • Avoidable bias decreases.
  • Variance increases.

Rubric: The answer must state both effects: reduced avoidable bias and increased variance.
