treex.losses.MeanAbsoluteError

Computes the mean absolute errors between target and predictions.

loss = mean(abs(target - preds))

Usage:

target = jnp.array([[0.0, 1.0], [0.0, 0.0]])
preds = jnp.array([[1.0, 1.0], [1.0, 0.0]])

# Using 'auto'/'sum_over_batch_size' reduction type.
mae = tx.losses.MeanAbsoluteError()

assert mae(target, preds) == 0.5

# Calling with 'sample_weight'.
assert mae(target, preds, sample_weight=jnp.array([0.7, 0.3])) == 0.25

# Using 'sum' reduction type.
mae = tx.losses.MeanAbsoluteError(reduction=tx.losses.Reduction.SUM)

assert mae(target, preds) == 1.0

# Using 'none' reduction type.
mae = tx.losses.MeanAbsoluteError(reduction=tx.losses.Reduction.NONE)

assert list(mae(target, preds)) == [0.5, 0.5]
Usage with the Elegy API:

model = elegy.Model(

(Optional) Type of tx.losses.Reduction to apply to loss. Default value is SUM_OVER_BATCH_SIZE. For almost all cases this defaults to SUM_OVER_BATCH_SIZE.

call(self, target, preds, sample_weight=None)

Invokes the MeanAbsoluteError instance.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
target ndarray

Ground truth values. shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN], except sparse loss functions such as sparse categorical crossentropy where shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1]

required
preds ndarray

The predicted values. shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN]

required
sample_weight Optional[jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray]

Optional sample_weight acts as a coefficient for the loss. If a scalar is provided, then the loss is simply scaled by the given value. If sample_weight is a tensor of size [batch_size], then the total loss for each sample of the batch is rescaled by the corresponding element in the sample_weight vector. If the shape of sample_weight is [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1] (or can be broadcasted to this shape), then each loss element of preds is scaled by the corresponding value of sample_weight. (Note ondN-1: all loss functions reduce by 1 dimension, usually axis=-1.)

None

Returns:

Type Description
ndarray

Weighted loss float Tensor. If reduction is NONE, this has shape [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1]; otherwise, it is scalar. (Note dN-1 because all loss functions reduce by 1 dimension, usually axis=-1.)

Exceptions:

Type Description
ValueError
