Cross entropy loss, or log loss, measures the performance of the classification model whose output is a probability between 0 and 1. Cross entropy increases as the predicted probability of a sample diverges from the actual value. Therefore, predicting a probability of 0.05 when the actual label has a value of 1 increases the cross entropy loss.
Mathematically, for a binary classification setting, cross entropy is defined as the following equation:

Here,
is the binary indicator (0 or 1) denoting ...
