I've used Classify[...] for a two class image classification problem which has yielded pretty good results. I let Mathematica select an algorithm for me and it picked a GBT model, everything looked good and the algorithm performed well.
I put the whole thing away for a while, but now it's come time to publish and although it's a small part of the study I feel I should know what loss function Mathematica chose for the model. I figured this would be easily accessible but I can't seem to find a citation or mention of this anywhere. I'm fairly certain it must use cross entropy, but "fairly certain" obviously isn't going to get past a reviewer.
If anyone has any idea, or knows how to get this information out of the model after training, I'd be very grateful if you could share your insights.

to see the information stored inside. That should reveal some information about the loss function as well. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it's mean crossentropy for a classification task. $\endgroup$
