How to choose loss functions

Simple references:

DON'T make the rookie mistake of going through all, or even two of them, at the same time. Pick one and stick to it. It'll be boring but rewarding.

Resources which make me happy :slight_smile:

(note: the last one doesn't cover neural networks, but it does explain various loss functions well).
