Common compatibility rules

  • Binary cross-entropy usually pairs with sigmoid probabilities.
  • Categorical cross-entropy usually pairs with softmax outputs.
  • Sparse categorical cross-entropy expects integer class identifiers.
  • Huber and log-cosh reduce extreme outlier influence.
  • Dice and Tversky losses focus on segmentation overlap.
  • Contrastive and triplet losses learn distances between embeddings.
  • Detection systems often combine classification and localisation losses.
