regularizing
Imposing uniform rules
Regularizing is the process of making something regular, standard, or consistent.
Immigration status gets regularized when authorities grant legal standing to someone previously undocumented.
Spelling gets regularized when inconsistent forms settle into convention.
In machine learning, regularizing prevents models from overfitting by penalizing complexity: We improved accuracy by regularizing the neural network.
