Can someone please explain Lovasz softmax loss? as its a bit difficult to understand why it works well from the original paper [duplicate]
Lovasz Softmax is used a lot these days for segmentation problem and the original paper is really bad at explaining why it works.

NN SoftMax/CE getting incorrect values when differentiated independently
So I solved it once, but can't recall how I did it... I'll show strictly where my problem is.
$$ Z^{O} := (1.57, 1.61) $$
$$ A^{O} := (0.49, 0.51) $$
Where Z is the layer output before applying the ...

Softmax gives output vector whose sum is greater than 1 in Pytorch
I am a newbie to PyTorch. I was trying out the following network architecture to train a multi-class classifier. I used Softmax at the output layer and cross entropy as the loss function. However, the ...

Gumbel-Softmax trick vs Softmax with temperature
From what I understand, the Gumbel-Softmax trick is a technique that enables us to sample discrete random variables, in a way that is differentiable (and therefore suited for end-to-end deep learning)....

Backpropagation with log likelihood cost function and softmax activation
In the online book on neural networks by Michael Nielsen, in chapter 3, he introduces a new cost function called as log-likelihood function defined as below
$$ C = -ln(a_y^L) $$
Suppose we have 10 ...

Can I turn any binary classification algorithms into multiclass algorithms using softmax and cross-entropy loss?
Softmax + cross-entropy loss for multiclass classification is used in ML algorithms such as softmax regression and (last layer of) neural networks. I wonder if this method could turn any binary ...

Is the Cross Entropy Loss important at all, because at Backpropagation only the Softmax probability and the one hot vector are relevant?
Is the Cross Entropy Loss (CEL) important at all, because at Backpropagation (BP) only the Softmax (SM) probability and the one hot vector are relevant?
When applying BP, the derivative of CEL is the ...
