Implement Masked Cross Entropy Loss with Label Smoothing
3/5
Build a classification loss from scratch in NumPy, combining per-sample masking with label smoothing so that ignored rows contribute nothing and targets are softened away from one-hot. Reported in OpenAI interviews, this exercise checks whether you can turn a loss definition into stable vectorised code rather than recite it. You will handle log-sum-exp overflow, the smoothing term's effect on the target distribution, and the question of what to return when every sample is masked out. The full problem statement and a verified reference implementation are available to subscribers.
