regularizes
Brings into conformity
Regularizes means makes regular, standard, or consistent.
In everyday use, a company might regularize its procedures or a government might regularize the status of undocumented workers.
In technical contexts—statistics, machine learning—regularizing prevents models from overfitting by adding constraints: The algorithm regularizes the coefficients to improve generalization.
