So we need esatto compute the gradient of CE Loss respect each CNN class punteggio durante \(s\)

Defined the loss, now we’ll have onesto compute its gradient respect puro the output neurons of the CNN durante order puro backpropagate it through the net and optimize the defined loss function tuning the net parameters. The loss terms coming from the negative classes are nulla. However, the loss gradient respect those negative classes is not cancelled, since the Softmax of the positive class also depends on the negative classes scores.

The gradient expression will be the same for all \(C\) except for the ground truth class \(C_p\), because the conteggio of \(C_p\) (\(s_p\)) is per the nominator.

• Caffe: SoftmaxWithLoss Layer. Is limited preciso multi-class classification.
• Pytorch: CrossEntropyLoss. Is limited esatto multi-class classification.
• TensorFlow: softmax_cross_entropy. Is limited esatto multi-class classification.

In this Facebook rete di emittenti they claim that, despite being counter-intuitive, Categorical Cross-Entropy loss, or Softmax loss worked better than Binary Cross-Entropy loss durante their multi-label classification problem.

> Skip this part if you are not interested durante Facebook or me using Softmax Loss for multi-label classification, which is not standard.

When Softmax loss is used is per multi-label scenario, the gradients get per bit more complex, since the loss contains an element for each positive class. Consider \(M\) are the positive classes of verso sample. The CE Loss with Softmax activations would be:

Where each \(s_p\) mediante \(M\) is the CNN conteggio for each positive class. As in Facebook paper, I introduce per scaling factor \(1/M\) to make the loss invariant preciso the number of positive classes, which ple.

As Caffe Softmax with Loss layer nor Multinomial Logistic Loss Layer accept multi-label targets, I implemented my own PyCaffe Softmax loss layer, following the specifications of the Facebook paper. Caffe python layers let’s us easily customize the operations done mediante the forward and backward passes of the layer:

Forward pass: Loss computation

We first compute Softmax activations for each class and panneau them mediante probs. Then we compute the loss for each image in the batch considering there might be more than one positive label. We use an scale_factor (\(M\)) and we also multiply losses by the labels, which can be binary or real numbers, so they can be used for instance onesto introduce class balancing. The batch loss will be the mean loss of the elements per the batch. We then save the data_loss preciso monitor it and the probs onesto use them per the backward pass.

Backward pass: Gradients computation

Mediante the backward pass we need esatto compute the gradients of each element of the batch respect esatto each one of the classes scores \(s\). As the gradient for all the classes \(C\) except positive classes \(M\) is equal to probs, we assign probs values preciso sbocco. For the positive classes durante \(M\) we subtract 1 preciso the corresponding probs value and use scale_factor onesto competizione the gradient expression. We compute the mean gradients of all the batch puro run the backpropagation.

Binary Cross-Entropy Loss

Also called Sigmoid Ciclocross-Entropy loss. It is verso Sigmoid activation plus per Ciclocampestre-Entropy loss. Unlike Softmax loss it is independent for each vector component (class), meaning that the loss computed for every CNN output vector component is not affected by other component values. That’s why it is used for multi-label classification, were the insight of flirt incontri app an element belonging sicuro a un class should not influence the decision for another class. It’s called Binary Cross-Entropy Loss because it sets up a binary classification problem between \(C’ = 2\) classes for every class mediante \(C\), as explained above. So when using this Loss, the formulation of Cross Entroypy Loss for binary problems is often used:
