Differences between two probability distributions

What does the Binary Cross-Entropy Loss function represent?

Loss function in binary classification

How is Cross-Validation beneficial in machine learning?

Prevents overfitting by providing reliable estimates of model performance

What is the purpose of K-fold Cross-Validation?
