However, the mistake is that the backend.binary_crossentropy function already performs this reduction internally:ĭef binary_crossentropy( target, output, from_logits = False): In other words, with a summation, you take the sum over -x*log(x), with x being the probabilities summing to 1), like here (from Wiki): However, the reduction axis there is very weird, and the author clearly got confused with the more general crossentropy definition (where you indeed take the expected value of -log(x). So clearly, judging by its name, this function promises to calculate the binary crossentropy. binary_crossentropy( y_true, y_pred, from_logits = from_logits), Label_smoothing, _smooth_labels, lambda: y_trueīackend.
