Why does loss decrease but accuracy remain unchanged in Keras training?
Updated May 16, 2026
Short answer
Loss is continuous while accuracy is discrete, so improvements may not reflect in accuracy.
Deep explanation
Loss captures probability confidence, while accuracy only measures thresholded correctness. Small probability improvements may not change predicted class.
