Maximum likelihood
Maximum likelihood: An estimation method choosing parameters that maximise the probability assigned by the model to observed data. Minimising negative log-likelihood gives the same result. Classification cross-entropy follows from this principle under appropriate assumptions. This perspective connects the definition with practical behaviour in artificial intelligence systems.
