BinaryCrossentropy class

keras.losses.BinaryCrossentropy(
    from_logits=False,
    label_smoothing=0.0,
    axis=-1,
    reduction="sum_over_batch_size",
    name="binary_crossentropy",
    dtype=None,
)

Computes the cross-entropy loss between true labels and predicted labels.

Use this cross-entropy loss for binary (0 or 1) classification applications. The loss function requires the following inputs:

  • y_true (true label): This is either 0 or 1.
  • y_pred (predicted value): This is the model's prediction, i.e, a single floating-point value which either represents a logit, (i.e, value in [-inf, inf] when from_logits=True) or a probability (i.e, value in [0., 1.] when from_logits=False).

Arguments

  • from_logits: Whether to interpret y_pred as a tensor of logit values. By default, we assume that y_pred is probabilities (i.e., values in [0, 1]).
  • label_smoothing: Float in range [0, 1]. When 0, no smoothing occurs. When > 0, we compute the loss between the predicted labels and a smoothed version of the true labels, where the smoothing squeezes the labels towards 0.5. Larger values of label_smoothing correspond to heavier smoothing.
  • axis: The axis along which to compute crossentropy (the features axis). Defaults to -1.
  • reduction: Type of reduction to apply to the loss. In almost all cases this should be "sum_over_batch_size". Supported options are "sum", "sum_over_batch_size" or None.
  • name: Optional name for the loss instance.
  • dtype: The dtype of the loss's computations. Defaults to None, which means using keras.backend.floatx(). keras.backend.floatx() is a "float32" unless set to different value (via keras.backend.set_floatx()). If a keras.DTypePolicy is provided, then the compute_dtype will be utilized.

Examples

Recommended Usage: (set from_logits=True)

With compile() API:

model.compile(
    loss=keras.losses.BinaryCrossentropy(from_logits=True),
    ...
)

BinaryFocalCrossentropy class

keras.losses.BinaryFocalCrossentropy(
    apply_class_balancing=False,
    alpha=0.25,
    gamma=2.0,
    from_logits=False,
    label_smoothing=0.0,
    axis=-1,
    reduction="sum_over_batch_size",
    name="binary_focal_crossentropy",
    dtype=None,
)

Computes focal cross-entropy loss between true labels and predictions.

Binary cross-entropy loss is often used for binary (0 or 1) classification tasks. The loss function requires the following inputs:

  • y_true (true label): This is either 0 or 1.
  • y_pred (predicted value): This is the model's prediction, i.e, a single floating-point value which either represents a logit, (i.e, value in [-inf, inf] when from_logits=True) or a probability (i.e, value in [0., 1.] when from_logits=False).

According to Lin et al., 2018, it helps to apply a "focal factor" to down-weight easy examples and focus more on hard examples. By default, the focal tensor is computed as follows:

focal_factor = (1 - output) ** gamma for class 1 focal_factor = output ** gamma for class 0 where gamma is a focusing parameter. When gamma=0, this function is equivalent to the binary crossentropy loss.

Arguments

  • apply_class_balancing: A bool, whether to apply weight balancing on the binary classes 0 and 1.
  • alpha: A weight balancing factor for class 1, default is 0.25 as mentioned in reference Lin et al., 2018. The weight for class 0 is 1.0 - alpha.
  • gamma: A focusing parameter used to compute the focal factor, default is 2.0 as mentioned in the reference Lin et al., 2018.
  • from_logits: Whether to interpret y_pred as a tensor of logit values. By default, we assume that y_pred are probabilities (i.e., values in [0, 1]).
  • label_smoothing: Float in [0, 1]. When 0, no smoothing occurs. When > 0, we compute the loss between the predicted labels and a smoothed version of the true labels, where the smoothing squeezes the labels towards 0.5. Larger values of label_smoothing correspond to heavier smoothing.
  • axis: The axis along which to compute crossentropy (the features axis). Defaults to -1.
  • reduction: Type of reduction to apply to the loss. In almost all cases this should be "sum_over_batch_size". Supported options are "sum", "sum_over_batch_size" or None.
  • name: Optional name for the loss instance.
  • dtype: The dtype of the loss's computations. Defaults to None, which means using keras.backend.floatx(). keras.backend.floatx() is a "float32" unless set to different value (via keras.backend.set_floatx()). If a keras.DTypePolicy is provided, then the compute_dtype will be utilized.

Computes the crossentropy loss between the labels and predictions.

Use this crossentropy loss function when there are two or more label classes. We expect labels to be provided in a one_hot representation. If you want to provide labels as integers, please use SparseCategoricalCrossentropy loss. There should be num_classes floating point values per feature, i.e., the shape of both y_pred and y_true are [batch_size, num_classes].

Arguments

  • from_logits: Whether y_pred is expected to be a logits tensor. By default, we assume that y_pred encodes a probability distribution.
  • label_smoothing: Float in [0, 1]. When > 0, label values are smoothed, meaning the confidence on label values are relaxed. For example, if 0.1, use 0.1 / num_classes for non-target labels and 0.9 + 0.1 / num_classes for target labels.
  • axis: The axis along which to compute crossentropy (the features axis). Defaults to -1.

CategoricalFocalCrossentropy class

keras.losses.CategoricalFocalCrossentropy(
    alpha=0.25,
    gamma=2.0,
    from_logits=False,
    label_smoothing=0.0,
    axis=-1,
    reduction="sum_over_batch_size",
    name="categorical_focal_crossentropy",
    dtype=None,
)

Computes the alpha balanced focal crossentropy loss.

Use this crossentropy loss function when there are two or more label classes and if you want to handle class imbalance without using class_weights. We expect labels to be provided in a one_hot representation.

According to Lin et al., 2018, it helps to apply a focal factor to down-weight easy examples and focus more on hard examples. The general formula for the focal loss (FL) is as follows:

FL(p_t) = (1 - p_t) ** gamma * log(p_t)

where p_t is defined as follows: p_t = output if y_true == 1, else 1 - output

(1 - p_t) ** gamma is the modulating_factor, where gamma is a focusing parameter. When gamma = 0, there is no focal effect on the cross entropy. gamma reduces the importance given to simple examples in a smooth manner.

The authors use alpha-balanced variant of focal loss (FL) in the paper: FL(p_t) = -alpha * (1 - p_t) ** gamma * log(p_t)

where alpha is the weight factor for the classes. If alpha = 1, the loss won't be able to handle class imbalance properly as all classes will have the same weight. This can be a constant or a list of constants. If alpha is a list, it must have the same length as the number of classes.

The formula above can be generalized to: FL(p_t) = alpha * (1 - p_t) ** gamma * CrossEntropy(y_true, y_pred)

where minus comes from CrossEntropy(y_true, y_pred) (CE).

Extending this to multi-class case is straightforward: FL(p_t) = alpha * (1 - p_t) ** gamma * CategoricalCE(y_true, y_pred)

In the snippet below, there is num_classes floating pointing values per example. The shape of both y_pred and y_true are (batch_size, num_classes).

Arguments

  • alpha: A weight balancing factor for all classes, default is 0.25 as mentioned in the reference. It can be a list of floats or a scalar. In the multi-class case, alpha may be set by inverse class frequency by using compute_class_weight from sklearn.utils.
  • gamma: A focusing parameter, default is 2.0 as mentioned in the reference. It helps to gradually reduce the importance given to simple (easy) examples in a smooth manner.
  • from_logits: Whether output is expected to be a logits tensor. By default, we consider that output encodes a probability distribution.
  • label_smoothing: Float in [0, 1]. When > 0, label values are smoothed, meaning the confidence on label values are relaxed. For example, if 0.1, use 0.1 / num_classes for non-target labels and 0.9 + 0.1 / num_classes for target labels.
  • axis: The axis along which to compute crossentropy (the features axis). Defaults to -1.
  • reduction: Type of reduction to apply to the loss. In almost all cases this should be "sum_over_batch_size". Supported options are "sum", "sum_over_batch_size" or None.

  • y_true: Tensor of true targets.
  • y_pred: Tensor of predicted targets.

Returns

KL Divergence loss values with shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1].

Example

>>> y_true = np.random.randint(0, 2, size=(2, 3)).astype(np.float32)
>>> y_pred = np.random.random(size=(2, 3))
>>> loss = keras.losses.kl_divergence(y_true, y_pred)
>>> assert loss.shape == (2,)
>>> y_true = ops.clip(y_true, 1e-7, 1)
>>> y_pred = ops.clip(y_pred, 1e-7, 1)
>>> assert np.array_equal(
...     loss, np.sum(y_true * np.log(y_true / y_pred), axis=-1))
