Resum	Regularized k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) extends the classical nearest-neighbor algorithm by incorporating regularization mechanisms — most commonly kernel-based distance weighting or bandwidth control — that smooth predictions, reduce sensitivity to the choice of k, and lower variance. The result is a more stable and better-calibrated instance-based learner for classification and regression tasks on tabular data.	A Regularized Gaussian Process (GP) is a probabilistic kernel-based model that places a prior over functions and explicitly controls overfitting through a noise regularization parameter — the observation noise variance — that prevents the model from memorizing training labels. It produces calibrated uncertainty estimates alongside predictions, making it uniquely suited to small or expensive datasets where knowing how confident the model is matters as much as the prediction itself.
