An optimization problem seeks to minimize a loss function. An objective function is either a loss function or its opposite (in specific domains, variously called a reward function, a profit function, a utility function, a fitness function, etc.), in which case it is to be maximized. The loss function could include terms from several levels of ...
Given the binary nature of classification, a natural selection for a loss function (assuming equal cost for false positives and false negatives) would be the 0-1 loss function (0–1 indicator function), which takes the value of 0 if the predicted classification equals that of the true class or a 1 if the predicted classification does not match ...
The loss function is a function that maps values of one or more variables onto a real number intuitively representing some "cost" associated with those values. For backpropagation, the loss function calculates the difference between the network output and its expected output, after a training example has propagated through the network.
As defined above, the Huber loss function is strongly convex in a uniform neighborhood of its minimum =; at the boundary of this uniform neighborhood, the Huber loss function has a differentiable extension to an affine function at points = and =. These properties allow it to combine much of the sensitivity of the mean-unbiased, minimum-variance ...

Scoring rules and scoring functions are often used as "cost functions" or "loss functions" of probabilistic forecasting models. They are evaluated as the empirical mean of a given sample, the "score". Scores of different predictions or models can then be compared to conclude which model is best.
The plot shows that the Hinge loss penalizes predictions y < 1, corresponding to the notion of a margin in a support vector machine. In machine learning, the hinge loss is a loss function used for training classifiers. The hinge loss is used for "maximum-margin" classification, most notably for support vector machines (SVMs). [1]
The MSE either assesses the quality of a predictor (i.e., a function mapping arbitrary inputs to a sample of values of some random variable), or of an estimator (i.e., a mathematical function mapping a sample of data to an estimate of a parameter of the population from which the data is sampled).
