What does the term "easy negatives" exactly mean in the context of machine learning for a classification problem or any problem in general?
From a quick google search, I think it means just negative examples in the training set.
Can someone please elaborate a bit more on why the term "easy" is brought into the picture?

OK, I think I understood what this means. Hard and easy negatives are ones which have a relatively large and small values for the loss function respectively.
