Mastering Deep Learning: Designing Loss Functions

<p>In past articles, we have seen how neural networks approximate non-linearities and the reason for their extraordinary efficiency. In this article, let us expand our understanding by exploring loss functions. Firstly, what exactly is a loss function, and what purpose does it serve?</p> <p>To answer our question, let us recall how we represent neural networks. A simple neural network that maps a set of inputs&nbsp;<strong><em>X</em></strong>&nbsp;to a set of outputs&nbsp;<strong><em>Y</em></strong>&nbsp;is represented as follows:</p> <p><a href="https://pub.towardsai.net/mastering-deep-learning-designing-loss-functions-e12a68c5ccf9"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
