Generalized Kullback-Leibler Divergence Loss

arXiv:2503. 08038v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we delve deeper into the Kullback-Leibler (KL) Divergence loss and mathematically prove that it is equivalent to the Decoupled Kullback-Leibler (DKL) Divergence loss that consists of (1) a weighted Mean Square Error (wMSE) loss and (2) a Cross-Entropy loss incorporating soft labels.

Linear-Core Surrogates: Smooth Loss Functions with Linear Rates for Classification and Structured Prediction

arXiv:2604. 27742v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental dichotomy in the theory of classification sets smoothness against statistical efficiency: smooth surrogate losses such as the logistic loss enable fast $O(1/T)$ optimization but yield slow square-root $H$-consistency bounds, while piecewise-linear losses like the Hinge loss achieve optimal linear $H$-consistency rates but are non-differentiable.
