Relative Entropy#

Relative Entropy (or Kullback-Leibler divergence) is a measure of how the expectation and activation of the network diverge. It is different from Cross Entropy in that it is asymmetric and thus does not qualify as a statistical measure of error.

\[ KL(y || \hat{y}) = \sum_{c=1}^{M} y_c \log{\frac{y_c}{\hat{y}_c}} \]

Parameters#

This cost function does not have any parameters.

Example#

use Rubix\ML\NeuralNet\CostFunctions\RelativeEntropy;

$costFunction = new RelativeEntropy();
