What is the relationship between the accuracy and the loss in deep learning?
There is no relationship between these two metrics.
Loss can be seen as a distance between the true values of the problem and the values predicted by the model. Greater the loss is, more huge is the ...

What's the difference between Sklearn F1 score 'micro' and 'weighted' for a multi class classification problem?
F1Score is a metric to evaluate predictors performance using the formula
F1 = 2 * (precision * recall) / (precision + recall)
where
recall = TP/(TP+FN)
and
precision = TP/(TP+FP)
and ...

Why do we use a Gaussian kernel as a similarity metric?
Let's be precise. "Distance" has lots of meanings in data science, I think you're talking about Euclidean distance.
The Gaussian kernel is a non-linear function of Euclidean distance.

Can the F1 score be equal to zero?
F1 will never be zero, but very near to zero for a bad classifier. If TP or TN is zero then there isn't any need to check F1.

F1_score(average='micro') is equal to calculating accuracy for multiclasification
In classification tasks for which every test case is guaranteed to be assigned to exactly one class, micro-F is equivalent to accuracy.

Log loss vs accuracy for deciding between different learning rates?
According to me, it is not correct to co-relate loss with accuracy.
Loss is used to optimize the hypothesis such that we can get best
weights whereas accuracy is used to identify how well model ...

Can the F1 score be equal to zero?
