A library for defining and computing loss functions commonly used in machine learning and digital signal processing.
Note: This crate is currently being translated from C++ to Rust, and some function bodies may still be in the process of translation.
The AveragedLoss trait defines a common
interface for loss functions that compute the
average loss over a batch of samples. The average
loss is typically used as a measure of the
performance of a machine learning model or signal
processing algorithm.
The AveragedLossGradient trait defines the
gradient of the average loss function with respect
to the model or algorithm parameters. The gradient
is used to update the parameters in order to
minimize the average loss.
The GetAveragedLossGradient trait provides
a convenience method for computing the gradient of
the average loss function for a given input data
and model parameters.
The averaged_loss_op_example module provides an
example implementation of an averaged loss
function using the AveragedLoss trait. This
module can be used as a starting point for
implementing custom loss functions.
The get_gradient_defs function returns the
gradient definitions for a given averaged loss
function. This function is used to register the
gradient of the loss function with the computation
graph.
The register_cpu_operator macro is used to
register a CPU implementation of an averaged loss
function with the computation graph.
The register_gradient macro is used to register
the gradient of an averaged loss function with the
computation graph.
The scalar_type module provides a generic
interface for computing the average loss and
gradient for scalar inputs. This module can be
used as a building block for more complex loss
functions that operate on higher-dimensional data.
The mathematical ideas behind these tokens involve
the computation of loss functions and their
gradients, which are used to optimize machine
learning models and digital signal processing
algorithms. These loss functions typically measure
the discrepancy between the output of the model or
algorithm and the desired output, and are often
defined as a function of the input data and model
parameters. The gradient of the loss function
provides information about how the loss changes
with respect to the model parameters, and is used
to update the parameters in order to minimize the
loss. The AveragedLoss and
AveragedLossGradient traits provide a common
interface for defining and computing such loss
functions, while the scalar_type module provides
a generic interface for computing the loss and
gradient for scalar inputs. The
register_cpu_operator and register_gradient
macros are used to register the loss function and
its gradient with the computation graph, while the
averaged_loss_op_example module provides an
example implementation of an averaged loss
function. Overall, this library provides
a flexible and extensible framework for defining
and computing loss functions in machine learning
and digital signal processing applications.
