eesmärkfunktsioonist

Eesmärkfunktsioonist is a term used in various fields, most notably in optimization problems and machine learning. It refers to the function that a system or algorithm aims to minimize or maximize. In essence, it defines the objective or goal of the process. For example, in an optimization problem like finding the shortest route between two points, the eesmärkfunktsioon might be the total distance of the route. The goal would be to find the route that minimizes this distance function.

In machine learning, the eesmärkfunktsioon, often called a loss function or cost function, quantifies how well a model is performing. During the training of a model, the algorithm iteratively adjusts its parameters to reduce the value of the eesmärkfunktsioon. A lower value indicates a better fit to the data or a more accurate prediction. Conversely, if the goal is to maximize a certain outcome, such as profit, the eesmärkfunktsioon would be designed to represent that profit, and the optimization process would aim to find the parameters that yield the highest profit. The specific form of the eesmärkfunktsioon is crucial as it directly dictates what constitutes a "good" solution or outcome.
