These notes cover how to measure and improve deep learning model performance:
- Loss Functions: Cross-entropy, MSE, hinge loss — choosing the right objective for your task.
- Classification Metrics: Accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and when each matters most.
- Visualization Tools: Confusion matrices, ROC-AUC curves, precision-recall plots, and learning curves.
- Regularization: Dropout, batch normalization, early stopping, and their effect on generalization.
