Where can I find authentic references on "categorical cross entropy" and "categorical accuracy metric"?

My Python source code uses TensorFlow and Keras to implement a neural network. The Keras source code uses something called "categorical cross-entropy" and "categorical accuracy metric&...

Why is the simplest U-Net architecture giving the best (but not good enough) results on a multi-class segmentation on microscopic data?

Currently, I'm trying to optimize a training process of a neural net to improve final results. The problem I'm dealing with is multiclass segmentation on microscopic data. The paradox is that the best ...

Is it appropriate to use a softmax activation with a categorical crossentropy loss?

I have a binary classification problem where I have 2 classes. A sample is either class 1 or class 2 - For simplicity, lets say they are exclusive from one another so it is definitely one or the other....

Can the (sparse) categorical cross-entropy be greater than one?

I am using AlexNet CNN to classify my dataset which contains 10 classes and 1000 data for each class, with 60-30-10, splits for train, validation, and test. I used different batch sizes, learning ...

How does the implementation of the VAE's objective function equate to ELBO?

For a lot of VAE implementations I've seen in code, it's not really obvious to me how it equates to ELBO. $$L(X)=H(Q)-H(Q:P(X,Z))=\sum_ZQ(Z)logP(Z,X)-\sum_ZQ(Z)log(Q(Z))$$ The above is the definition ...

Why are there two versions of softmax cross entropy? Which one to use in what situation?

I have seen 2 forms of softmax cross-entropy loss and are confused by the two. Which one is the right one? For example in this Quora answer, there are 2 answers: $L(\mathbf{w})=\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^...

How should I penalize the model proportionally to the error?

I am making an MNIST classifier. I am using categorical cross-entropy as my loss function. I want to make it so that if the correct label is 3, then it will penalize the model less heavily if it ...

In which cases is the categorical cross-entropy better than the mean squared error?

In my code, I usually use the mean squared error (MSE), but the TensorFlow tutorials always use the categorical cross-entropy (CCE). Is the CCE loss function better than MSE? Or is it better only in ...
