Problem Statement
I've built a classifier to classify a dataset consisting of n samples and four classes of data. To this end, I've used pre-trained VGG-19, pre-trained Alexnet and even LeNet (with cross-entropy loss). However, I just changed the softmax layer's architecture and placed just four neurons for that (because my dataset includes just four classes). Since the dataset classes have a striking resemblance to each other, this classifier was unable to classify them and I was forced to use other methods. During the training section, after some epochs, loss decreased from approximately 7 to approximately 1.2, but there were no changes in accuracy and it was frozen on 25% (random precision). In the best epochs, the accuracy just reached near 27% but it was completely unstable.
Question
How is it justifiable? If loss reduction means model improvement, why doesn't accuracy increase? How is it possible to the loss decreases near 6 points (approximately from 7 to 1) but nothing happens to accuracy at all?
