A perspective. Negative log likelihood loss is normally calculated as the positivized mean log likelihood. This is: \[ \text{loss} = \sum_{i=0}{i=\text{n_steps}} \mathcal{P}(\text{data} | \text{model_out}) \] As this mean is taken over many samples, it approximates an expectation—an expectation over log probabilities.
