Categorical Cross Entropy Explained for Multi-Class Classification

This article delves into the concept of Categorical Cross Entropy (CCE) as a loss function for multi-class classification problems. It explains how CCE differs from Binary Cross Entropy (BCE) by utilizing one-hot encoded variables to represent multiple classes, unlike BCE which handles only two. The piece illustrates the mathematical formulation and provides examples of how probabilities are assigned and calculated for different classes, emphasizing that probabilities must sum to one. AI
