Minimax Generalized Cross-Entropy offers convex optimization for classification

Researchers have introduced Minimax Generalized Cross-Entropy (MGCE), a novel loss function designed to improve supervised classification performance. Unlike previous formulations of GCE that suffered from non-convex optimization and underfitting, MGCE offers a convex optimization approach. This new method demonstrates faster convergence, better calibration, and strong accuracy, particularly when dealing with noisy labels, by providing an upper bound on classification error. AI

    Minimax Generalized Cross-Entropy

    arXiv:2603.19874v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Loss functions play a central role in supervised classification. Cross-entropy (CE) is widely used, whereas the mean absolute error (MAE) loss can offer robustness but is difficult to optimize. Interpolating between the CE and M…
