0 and we want that the probability is close to 0. When y = 1, MLE for that observation (or data point) is yi*ln(p(xi)). If p(xi) is 1, then yi*ln(p(xi)) is 0, more p(xi) is approaching 1 more the logarithm is close to zero. And also, as we have seen in the image above, more p(xi) is far from 1, and
