Glossary of technical terms for the use of metallurgical engineers Terms starting with alphabet ‘L L1 loss – It is also known as ‘mean absolute error’ (MAE). It is a loss function used in regression tasks which calculates the average absolute differences between predicted values from a machine learning model and the actual target values. L1 …
