mindspore.nn.BCELoss

class mindspore.nn.BCELoss(weight=None, reduction='mean')[source]

BCELoss creates a criterion to measure the binary cross entropy between the true labels and predicted labels.

Set the predicted labels as \(x\), true labels as \(y\), the output loss as \(\ell(x, y)\). The formula is as follow:

\[L = \{l_1,\dots,l_n,\dots,l_N\}^\top, \quad l_n = - w_n \left[ y_n \cdot \log x_n + (1 - y_n) \cdot \log (1 - x_n) \right]\]

where N is the batch size. Then,

\[\begin{split}\ell(x, y) = \begin{cases} L, & \text{if reduction} = \text{'none';}\\ \operatorname{mean}(L), & \text{if reduction} = \text{'mean';}\\ \operatorname{sum}(L), & \text{if reduction} = \text{'sum'.} \end{cases}\end{split}\]

Note

Note that the predicted labels should always be the output of sigmoid. Because it is a two-class classification, the true labels should be numbers between 0 and 1. And if input is either 0 or 1, one of the log terms would be mathematically undefined in the above loss equation.

Parameters

  • weight (Tensor, optional) – A rescaling weight applied to the loss of each batch element. And it must have the same shape and data type as inputs. Default: None .

  • reduction (str, optional) –

    Apply specific reduction method to the output: 'none' , 'mean' , 'sum' . Default: 'mean' .

    • 'none': no reduction will be applied.

    • 'mean': compute and return the weighted mean of elements in the output.

    • 'sum': the output elements will be summed.

Inputs:

  • logits (Tensor) - The input tensor with shape \((N, *)\) where \(*\) means, any number of additional dimensions. The data type must be float16 or float32.

  • labels (Tensor) - The label tensor with shape \((N, *)\) where \(*\) means, any number of additional dimensions. The same shape and data type as logits.

Outputs:

Tensor, has the same dtype as logits. if reduction is 'none', then it has the same shape as logits. Otherwise, it is a scalar Tensor.

Raises

  • TypeError – If dtype of logits, labels or weight (if given) is neither float16 not float32.

  • ValueError – If reduction is not one of 'none', 'mean', 'sum'.

  • ValueError – If shape of logits is not the same as labels or weight (if given).
