L2 Loss

L2 loss is the squared-error loss function: for a true value $$y$$ and a predicted value $$\hat{y}$$, it is the squared difference $$(y - \hat{y})^2$$, and averaging it across a dataset gives the mean squared…

Simulated annealing

Simulated annealing is a probabilistic method for finding a good approximate solution to a global optimization problem, especially one with many local optima that trap ordinary hill-climbing methods.
