This is one of the better explanations of how the heck we go from maximum likelihood to using NLL loss to log of softmax. Thanks!

Thanks Herman. I'm following some pytorch tutorial and got lost when i saw the cross entropy computation equal the NLL one. This definitely filled the gap

[@kamperh]

Very happy this helped!! :D

[@kundanyalangi2922]

Good explanation. Thank you Herman

Thanks for the video

Why is it prefered to solve the problem as minimize the cross entropy over minimize de NLL? Are there more efficient properties doing that?
