Normalization, Standardization, Regularization

with a claude’s help
This image is a diagram explaining three important concepts in machine learning: Normalization, Standardization, and Regularization.

The diagram is structured as follows:

  1. On the left side, there are document icons representing Input Data, and on the right side, there is a neural network structure representing the Learning Model.

Each concept is explained:

  1. Normalization:
  • Process of adjusting data range to [0 to 1] or [-1 to 1]
  • Scales data to fit within a specific range
  1. Standardization:
  • Process of adjusting data distribution
  • Transforms data to have an average of 0 and standard deviation of 0
  1. Regularization:
  • Controls model complexity and prevents overfitting
  • Prevents the model from becoming too closely fitted to the training data

These techniques are essential preprocessing and training steps for improving machine learning model performance and ensuring stable learning.

These techniques are fundamental in machine learning as they help in:

Enhancing overall model performance

Making data consistent and comparable

Improving model training efficiency

Preventing model overfitting

Standardization

From Claude + ChatGPT with some prompting
The image you provided shows a standardization process aimed at delivering high-quality data and consistent services. Here’s a breakdown of the structure based on the image:

Key Areas:

  1. [Data]
    • Facility: Represents physical systems or infrastructure.
    • Auto Control: Automatic controls used to manage the system.
  2. [Service]
    • Mgt. System: Management system that controls and monitors operations.
    • Process: Processes to maintain efficiency and quality.

Optimization Paths:

  1. Legacy Optimization:
    • a) Configure List-Up: Listing and organizing the configurations for the existing system.
    • b) Configure Optimization (Standardization): Optimizing and standardizing the existing system to improve performance.
    • Outcome: Enhances the existing system by improving its efficiency and consistency.
  2. New Setup:
    • a) Configure List-Up: Listing and organizing configurations for the new system.
    • b) Configure Optimization (Standardization): Optimizing and standardizing the configuration for the new system.
    • c) Configuration Requirement: Defining the specific requirements for setting up the new system.
    • d) Verification (on Installation): Verifying that the system operates correctly after installation.
    • Outcome: Builds a completely new system that provides high-quality data and consistent services.

Outcome:

The aim for both paths is to provide high-quality data and consistent service by standardizing either through optimizing legacy systems or creating entirely new setups.

This structured approach helps improve efficiency, consistency, and system performance.

Standardization & Platform Why?

From Claude with some prompting
This diagram illustrates the importance of standardization and platform development, highlighting two key objectives:

  1. Standardization:
    • Encompasses the stages from real work (machine and processing) through digitization, collecting, and verification.
    • Purpose: “Move on with data trust”
    • Meaning: By establishing standardized processes for data collection and verification, it ensures data reliability. This allows subsequent stages to proceed without concerns about data quality.
  2. Software Development Platform:
    • Includes analysis, improvement, and new development stages.
    • Purpose: “Make easy to improve & go to new”
    • Meaning: Building on standardized data and processes, the platform facilitates easier service improvements and new service development and expansion.

This structure offers several advantages:

  1. Data Reliability: Standardized processes for collection and verification ensure trustworthy data, eliminating concerns about data quality in later stages.
  2. Efficient Improvement and Innovation: With reliable data and a standardized platform, improving existing services or developing new ones becomes more straightforward.
  3. Scalability: The structure provides a foundation for easily adding new services or features.

In conclusion, this diagram visually represents two core strategies: establishing data reliability through standardization and enabling efficient service improvement and expansion through a dedicated platform. It emphasizes how standardization allows teams to trust and focus on using the data, while the platform makes it easier to improve existing services and develop new ones.

This image depicts a diagram of the “DC op Platform” (Data Center Operations Platform). The main components are as follows:

  1. On the left, there’s “DC Op Env.” (Data Center Operations Environment), which consists of three main parts:
    • DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management)
    • Auto Control
    • Facility These three elements undergo a “Standardization” process.
  2. In the center, there are two “Standardization” server icons, representing the standardization process of the platform.
  3. On the right, there’s the “Data Center Op. Platform”, which comprises three main components:
