Good morning! This is the Qualiteg Research Team. In this article, we explain how to express the cross-entropy computation using vectors and matrices. Chapter 8: Cross-Entropy and Vector Operations First of all, why would we want to express cross-entropy with vectors and matrices? The reason is that when you actually

[Appendix] Comparison of Penalties Penalty type Purpose How it is applied Example penalty Repetition Penalty Prevents specific tokens or phrases from being repeated. Applies a penalty to the log probabilities (logits) of all previously generated tokens. For example, if a token has already been generated, its log probability is divided

Good morning from the Qualiteg Research Team. In this installment, we extend the previous discussion and derive the cross-entropy for multi-class classification with N samples, working through actual data as we go. Chapter 6: Cross-Entropy for Multi-Class Classification (N Samples) In real training, we perform batch learning: several training samples
AI Mathematics
Good morning! This is the Research Department at Qualiteg Inc. In this installment, we will calculate the cross-entropy used for multi-class classification. Chapter 5: Calculating Cross-Entropy for Multi-Class Classification (Single-Sample Version) First, let us restate the cross-entropy function (single-sample version). $$ \ - \log L=\sum_{k=1}^{K} t_{k} \log

Good morning. This is the Research Team at Qualiteg. Today we present the second half of our discussion on differentiating logarithmic functions. By the end of this installment, you should have a solid grasp of how to differentiate logarithmic functions. 2. Logarithm Identities First, let's review the basic
AI Mathematics
Good morning from the Qualiteg Research Team. Starting today, we will spend two articles learning about logarithmic functions. To be precise, we will learn how to differentiate logarithmic functions. What was a logarithmic function again? First of all, a logarithm is a way of finding "how many times a
