Cross entropy - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_entropyCross-entropy can be used to define a loss function in machine learning and optimization. The true probability is the true label, and the given distribution is the predicted value of the current model. More specifically, consider logistic regression, which (among other things) can be used to classify observations into two possible classes (often simply labelled and ). The output of the model for a given observation, given a vector of input features , can be interpreted as a probability, which ser…
CrossEntropyLoss — PyTorch 1.10.1 documentation
pytorch.org › torchCrossEntropyLoss class torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss(weight=None, size_average=None, ignore_index=- 100, reduce=None, reduction='mean', label_smoothing=0.0) [source] This criterion computes the cross entropy loss between input and target. It is useful when training a classification problem with C classes.
