Given the choice of measurement criteria, loss functions measure how far an estimated output is from its true value. And the measurement criteria can change depending on the task in hand and the goal to be met. The objective of this project is to understand the role of different loss functions and to evaluate the dependence of the performance on the loss functions using the language prediction problem.
