Explanation
The two most common regularization methods are called L1 and L2 regularization. L1 regularization penalizes the weight vector for its L1-norm (i.e. the sum of the absolute values of the weights), whereas L2 regularization uses its L2-norm. There is usually not a considerable difference between the two methods in terms of the accuracy of the resulting model (Gao et al 2007), but L1 regularization has a significant advantage in practice. Because many of the weights of the features become zero as a result of L1-regularized training, the size of the model can be much smaller than that produced by L2-regularization. Compact models require less space on memory and storage, and enable the application to start up quickly. These merits can be of vital importance when the application is deployed in resource-tight environments such as cell-phones.
Regularization works by adding the penalty associated with the coefficient values to the error of the hypothesis. This way, an accurate hypothesis with unlikely coefficients would be penalized whila a somewhat less accurate but more conservative hypothesis with low coefficients would not be penalized as much.

Explanation
Using K means clustering you can create group of objects based on their properties. Where K is number of the groups. In this case, in each group you determine the center of the group and then find the how far each object characteristics from the center. If it is near the center than it can be part of the group. Suppose we have 100 objects and we need to determine 4 groups. Hence, here K=4. Now we determine 4 center values and based on that center value we determine the distance of each object from the center.

Explanation
Support vector machines (SVMs) are a set of supervised learning methods used for classification, regression and outliers detection.
The advantages of support vector machines are:
Effective in high dimensional spaces.
Still effective in cases where number of dimensions is greater than the number of samples.
Uses a subset of training points in the decision function (called support vectors), so it is also memory efficient.
Versatile: different Kernel functions can be specified for the decision function.
Common kernels are provided, but it is also possible to specify custom kernels.
The disadvantages of support vector machines include:
If the number of features is much greater than the number of samples, the method is likely to give poor performances.
SVMs do not directly provide probability estimates, these are calculated using an expensive five-fold cross-validation.
