Loss function used in practice for object localization and classification

Course Q&A Deep Learning Specialization Convolutional Neural Networks

In the first video of Week 3, Andrew used the squared error to compute the loss function but he also mentioned that’s the simplified version and in practice, one would probably use cross-entropy loss for pc, squared error for bx,by,etc. I’m wondering once we compute the losses for each individual output here (pc,bx,by,…c1,c2,c3), would we sum all of those losses together to produce the final loss for one training example?

Hi littledino2112,

A weighing is used as described on pp. 3-4 of the original yolo paper which you can find here. You can also first look at this clarification.

Thanks for the pointer!
