Concept

Entropy and Accuracy

Accuracy:

  • Heuristic approach to the concept, we can have a high probability of making correct predictions and predict wrong most of the time yielding poor accuracy.

  • Log scoring Rule for accuracy measure inherently uses the Bayes Theorem with joint probabilities (likelihood).

Entropy:

  • The uncertainty contained in a probability distribution.

  • Average log-prob of the event

  • Is closely related to its scientific meaning, the measure of disorder in a system, now in terms of probability.
