Soft capping in machine learning, also known as Winsorization, involves setting a threshold on extreme values of a dataset to handle outliers effectively [1][5]. This technique includes flooring lower values and capping higher values based on specific percentiles to improve the accuracy and performance of predictive models [3]. By addressing irregular outliers without discarding them, soft capping helps in managing skewed data distributions and enhancing the overall impact of machine learning models [4].
