Resources on cross entropy loss found while reading focal loss paper
Github and paper on improved one-stage object detection via introducing a novel Focal Loss by FAIR:
-
https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02002 Although later learned their model performance was already surpassed by YOLO3, it's still a good paper and a surprisingly simple mathematical solution to improve accuracy
Bakground on Cross-Entropy loss:
