Focal Loss: A better alternative for Cross-Entropy

Focal loss is said to perform better than Cross-Entropy loss in many cases. But why Cross-Entropy loss fails, and how Focal loss addresses those problems let us find out in this article

Loss functions are mathematical equations that calculate how far the predictions deviate from the actual values. Higher loss values suggest that the model is making a significant error, whereas lower loss values imply …
