Description

The operator create_dl_layer_loss_focalcreate_dl_layer_loss_focalCreateDlLayerLossFocalCreateDlLayerLossFocalCreateDlLayerLossFocalcreate_dl_layer_loss_focal creates a focal loss layer whose handle is returned in DLLayerLossFocalDLLayerLossFocalDLLayerLossFocalDLLayerLossFocalDLLayerLossFocaldllayer_loss_focal. See the reference cited below for further information about its definition and parameter meanings.

This layer expects multiple layers as input:

• DLLayerInputDLLayerInputDLLayerInputDLLayerInputDLLayerInputdllayer_input: Specifies the prediction (e.g., a sigmoid or softmax layer).

• DLLayerTargetDLLayerTargetDLLayerTargetDLLayerTargetDLLayerTargetdllayer_target: Specifies the target sequences (originating from the ground truth information).

• DLLayerWeightsDLLayerWeightsDLLayerWeightsDLLayerWeightsDLLayerWeightsdllayer_weights: Specifies the weight sequences.

• DLLayerNormalizationDLLayerNormalizationDLLayerNormalizationDLLayerNormalizationDLLayerNormalizationdllayer_normalization: Specifies the factor to normalize the loss. This parameter is optional, it can be given by the layer handle as value or ignored handing over an empty tuple [].

The parameter LayerNameLayerNameLayerNameLayerNamelayerNamelayer_name sets an individual layer name. Note that if creating a model using create_dl_modelcreate_dl_modelCreateDlModelCreateDlModelCreateDlModelcreate_dl_model each layer of the created network must have a unique name.

The parameter LossWeightLossWeightLossWeightLossWeightlossWeightloss_weight is a overall loss weight if there are multiple losses in the network.

The parameter GammaGammaGammaGammagammagamma is the exponent of the focal factor.

The parameter ClassWeightsClassWeightsClassWeightsClassWeightsclassWeightsclass_weights defines class specific weights. All loss contributions of a class are weighted with the given factor. Typically, this is set to 1.0/(Number of samples of the class). Note, the length of this array has to correspond to the number of classes. The default value [] corresponds to a factor of 1.0 for all classes.

The parameter TypeTypeTypeTypetypetype sets the focal loss options:

'focal_binary'"focal_binary""focal_binary""focal_binary""focal_binary""focal_binary":

Focal loss.

'sigmoid_focal_binary'"sigmoid_focal_binary""sigmoid_focal_binary""sigmoid_focal_binary""sigmoid_focal_binary""sigmoid_focal_binary":

Focal loss fused with sigmoid.

The following generic parameters GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name and the corresponding values GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValuegen_param_value are supported:

'is_inference_output'"is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output":

Default: 'false'"false""false""false""false""false"

'num_trainable_params'"num_trainable_params""num_trainable_params""num_trainable_params""num_trainable_params""num_trainable_params":

Number of trainable parameters (weights and biases) of the layer.

Certain parameters of layers created using this operator create_dl_layer_loss_focalcreate_dl_layer_loss_focalCreateDlLayerLossFocalCreateDlLayerLossFocalCreateDlLayerLossFocalcreate_dl_layer_loss_focal can be set and retrieved using further operators. The following tables give an overview, which parameters can be set using set_dl_model_layer_paramset_dl_model_layer_paramSetDlModelLayerParamSetDlModelLayerParamSetDlModelLayerParamset_dl_model_layer_param and which ones can be retrieved using get_dl_model_layer_paramget_dl_model_layer_paramGetDlModelLayerParamGetDlModelLayerParamGetDlModelLayerParamget_dl_model_layer_param or get_dl_layer_paramget_dl_layer_paramGetDlLayerParamGetDlLayerParamGetDlLayerParamget_dl_layer_param.
