Focal Loss vs. Binary Cross Entropy Loss

Focal Loss addresses the issue of class imbalance that Binary Cross Entropy Loss struggles with. It reduces the impact of well-classified examples by assigning a smaller weight to them, allowing the model to focus more on hard-to-classify examples. This helps improve performance when one class is much less frequent than the other.
