Meaning of mean squared error in multistep prediction

In multistep prediction with LSTM(keras), say we had this kind of result: target = [[1,2,3] ,[4,5,6] ] predictions = [[1.1,2.2,3.3] , [4.4,5.5,6.6]] When we choose mean_squared_error as the loss ...

what's the difference between using 1/2n and 1/n in cost function in Linear Regression? [duplicate]

Sometimes people use 1/2n in cost function, but we know that another name for cost function is Mean Squared Error. But for MSE, 1/n is justifiable than 1/2n, so is there any term that we call when we ...
