diving headfirst into the world of loss functions: the silent superheroes guiding our models to learn from mistakes. In this post, we'd cover the following topics:

  • What is a loss function?
  • Difference between loss functions and metrics
  • Explaining MSE and MAE from two perspectives
  • Three basic ideas when designing loss functions
  • Using those three basic ideas to interpret MSE, log loss, and cross-entropy loss
  • Connection between log loss and cross-entropy loss
  • How to handle multiple loss functions (objectives) in practice
  • Difference between MSE and RMSE
