机器学习速成课程 | 练习 | Google Development——编程练习：稀疏性和 L1 正则化

稀疏性和 L1 正则化

---

学习目标：

• 计算模型大小
• 通过应用 L1 正则化来增加稀疏性，以减小模型大小

---

降低复杂性的一种方法是使用正则化函数，它会使权重正好为零。对于线性模型（例如线性回归），权重为零就相当于完全没有使用相应特征。除了可避免过拟合之外，生成的模型还会更加有效。

L1 正则化是一种增加稀疏性的好方法。

计算模型大小

要计算模型大小，只需计算非零参数的数量即可。为此，我们在下面提供了一个辅助函数。该函数深入使用了 Estimator API，如果不了解它的工作原理，也不用担心。

def model_size(estimator):
  variables = estimator.get_variable_names()
  size = 0
  for variable in variables:
    if not any(x in variable 
               for x in ['global_step',
                         'centered_bias_weight',
                         'bias_weight',
                         'Ftrl']
              ):
      size += np.count_nonzero(estimator.get_variable_value(variable))
  return size

减小模型大小

您的团队需要针对 SmartRing 构建一个准确度高的逻辑回归模型，这种指环非常智能，可以感应城市街区的人口统计特征（median_income、avg_rooms、households等等），并告诉您指定城市街区的住房成本是否高昂。

由于 SmartRing 很小，因此工程团队已确定它只能处理参数数量不超过 600 个的模型。另一方面，产品管理团队也已确定，除非所保留测试集的对数损失函数低于 0.35，否则该模型不能发布。

您可以使用秘密武器“L1 正则化”调整模型，使其同时满足大小和准确率限制条件吗？

 

任务 1：查找合适的正则化系数。

查找可同时满足以下两种限制条件的 L1 正则化强度参数：模型的参数数量不超过 600 个且验证集的对数损失函数低于 0.35。

以下代码可帮助您快速开始。您可以通过多种方法向您的模型应用正则化。在此练习中，我们选择使用 FtrlOptimizer 来应用正则化。FtrlOptimizer 是一种设计成使用 L1 正则化比标准梯度下降法得到更好结果的方法。

重申一次，我们会使用整个数据集来训练该模型，因此预计其运行速度会比通常要慢。

 解决方案

正则化强度为 0.1 应该就足够了。请注意，有一个需要做出折中选择的地方：正则化越强，我们获得的模型就越小，但会影响分类损失。
