Although maximum entropy method (maxEnt method) is currently the standard algorithm for extracting real frequency information from imaginary frequency Green function, still this method is beset with overfitting problem, which manifests itself as the spurious spikes in the resultant spectral functions. To address this issue and motivated by the regularization techniques widely used in machine learning and statistics, here we propose to add one more regularization term into the original maxEnt loss function to suppress these redundant spikes. The essence of this extra regularization term is to demand that the resultant spectral functions should pay a price for being spiky. We test our algorithm with both artificial and real data, and find that spurious spikes in the resultant spectral functions can be effectively suppressed by this method.
