The loss function is defined using triplets of training points of the form (,,).In each triplet, (called an "anchor point") denotes a reference point of a particular identity, (called a "positive point") denotes another point of the same identity in point , and (called a "negative point") denotes an point of an identity different from the identity in point and .
The loss incurred on this batch is the multi-class N-pair loss, [14] which is a symmetric cross-entropy loss over similarity scores: / / / / In essence, this loss function encourages the dot product between matching image and text vectors to be high, while discouraging high dot products between non-matching pairs.
In machine learning and mathematical optimization, loss functions for classification are computationally feasible loss functions representing the price paid for inaccuracy of predictions in classification problems (problems of identifying which category a particular observation belongs to). [1]
Torch is an open-source machine learning library, a scientific computing framework, and a scripting language based on Lua. [3] It provides LuaJIT interfaces to deep learning algorithms implemented in C. It was created by the Idiap Research Institute at EPFL. Torch development moved in 2017 to PyTorch, a port of the library to Python. [4] [5] [6]
In many applications, objective functions, including loss functions as a particular case, are determined by the problem formulation. In other situations, the decision maker’s preference must be elicited and represented by a scalar-valued function (called also utility function) in a form suitable for optimization — the problem that Ragnar Frisch has highlighted in his Nobel Prize lecture. [4]
Logistic regression typically optimizes the log loss for all the observations on which it is trained, which is the same as optimizing the average cross-entropy in the sample. Other loss functions that penalize errors differently can be also used for training, resulting in models with different final test accuracy. [7]
Diagram of a restricted Boltzmann machine with three visible units and four hidden units (no bias units) A restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) (also called a restricted Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model with external field or restricted stochastic Ising–Lenz–Little model) is a generative stochastic artificial neural network that can learn a probability distribution over its set of inputs.
The plot shows that the Hinge loss penalizes predictions y < 1, corresponding to the notion of a margin in a support vector machine. In machine learning, the hinge loss is a loss function used for training classifiers. The hinge loss is used for "maximum-margin" classification, most notably for support vector machines (SVMs). [1]
