Why Cross-Entropy Is the Key Loss Function for Classification Models
This article explains how loss functions evaluate model performance, contrasts regression’s mean squared error with classification’s cross‑entropy, describes one‑hot encoding and softmax outputs, and shows why higher predicted probabilities for the correct class yield lower loss, highlighting applications in image, language, and speech tasks.
