title: Validation Loss greater than 1.0
body: <p>I am running an LSTM network on textual data. The code uses the Keras library from python3. I would like to know what it means to have a validation loss that is greater than one. The loss used is <strong>categorical_crossentropy</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to make sense of the validation loss which seems to be greater than 1.0 in my case. The other metrics are as follows:
  <code>acc: 0.6104 - val_loss: 1.0719 - val_acc: 0.7046</code> </p>
  
  <p>Here is the learning curve, in case it helps.
