What Regularization Methods got wrong, from 84 dissertations

Across numerous applications, regularization techniques frequently impaired predictive accuracy, disrupted optimization, or introduced severe parameter estimation bias. Practitioners repeatedly found that methods such as Lasso, Ridge, dropout, and spatial penalties underperformed simpler unregularized baselines or induced pathological failures like mode collapse and over-smoothing. These records come from PhD theses at 25 institutions, 2021 to 2026. Each links to its thesis. They were extracted by language models reading the full text, so treat each as a lead to read, not a verdict.

L1 and Lasso penalties cause estimation bias, arbitrary feature elimination, and instability under collinearity

17 theses · 10 institutions

Applying L1 and Lasso penalties frequently introduced severe shrinkage bias and degraded predictive accuracy by penalizing or completely eliminating important predictor coefficients. In several settings, L1 regularization artificially split effects across correlated markers, failed to respect spatial or global feature structures, or required separate fine-tuning phases that made alternative formulations preferable.
