Recommendations

L2 Regularization (Weight Decay)

1e-4

Penalizes large weights. Start with 1e-4 and adjust based on validation loss.

Dropout Rate

0.3

Apply 30% dropout before final layers. Reduces co-adaptation of neurons.

Label Smoothing

0.1

Use 0.1 label smoothing to prevent overconfident predictions.

L1 Regularization

0.0

Optional for sparse models. Usually 0 unless feature selection needed.

Large

With a large model (7B params) and medium dataset (50K samples), you likely have a variance problem (overfitting). Increase regularization through L2, dropout, and data augmentation. Monitor validation loss closely.
