What is Dropout & Regularization

Beginner

Answer

Dropout is a regularization technique used in deep learning where random neurons are temporarily turned off during training to prevent the model from relying too heavily on any single neuron.
Real-world example A deep learning model trained on a small image dataset uses dropout to avoid memorizing the exact training photos and instead learn general visual patterns.
