Zusammenfassung	A Regularized Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) adds a small positive constant to the diagonal of each component covariance matrix during the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, preventing singular or near-singular matrices that cause numerical failures when the data are sparse, high-dimensional, or contain near-duplicate observations.	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.
