Detailed Description

template<typename Dtype>
class caffe::HingeLossLayer< Dtype >

Computes the hinge loss for a one-of-many classification task.

Parameters
bottominput Blob vector (length 2)
  1. $ (N \times C \times H \times W) $ the predictions $ t $, a Blob with values in $ [-\infty, +\infty] $ indicating the predicted score for each of the $ K = CHW $ classes. In an SVM, $ t $ is the result of taking the inner product $ X^T W $ of the D-dimensional features $ X \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times N} $ and the learned hyperplane parameters $ W \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times K} $, so a Net with just an InnerProductLayer (with num_output = D) providing predictions to a HingeLossLayer and no other learnable parameters or losses is equivalent to an SVM.
  2. $ (N \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the labels $ l $, an integer-valued Blob with values $ l_n \in [0, 1, 2, ..., K - 1] $ indicating the correct class label among the $ K $ classes
topoutput Blob vector (length 1)
  1. $ (1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the computed hinge loss: $ E = \frac{1}{N} \sum\limits_{n=1}^N \sum\limits_{k=1}^K [\max(0, 1 - \delta\{l_n = k\} t_{nk})] ^ p $, for the $ L^p $ norm (defaults to $ p = 1 $, the L1 norm; L2 norm, as in L2-SVM, is also available), and $ \delta\{\mathrm{condition}\} = \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} 1 & \mbox{if condition} \\ -1 & \mbox{otherwise} \end{array} \right. $

In an SVM, $ t \in \mathcal{R}^{N \times K} $ is the result of taking the inner product $ X^T W $ of the features $ X \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times N} $ and the learned hyperplane parameters $ W \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times K} $. So, a Net with just an InnerProductLayer (with num_output = $k$) providing predictions to a HingeLossLayer is equivalent to an SVM (assuming it has no other learned outside the InnerProductLayer and no other losses outside the HingeLossLayer).

◆ Backward_cpu()

template<typename Dtype >
void caffe::HingeLossLayer< Dtype >::Backward_cpu ( const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &  top,
const vector< bool > &  propagate_down,
const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &  bottom 
)
protectedvirtual

Computes the hinge loss error gradient w.r.t. the predictions.

Gradients cannot be computed with respect to the label inputs (bottom[1]), so this method ignores bottom[1] and requires !propagate_down[1], crashing if propagate_down[1] is set.

Parameters
topoutput Blob vector (length 1), providing the error gradient with respect to the outputs
  1. $ (1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ This Blob's diff will simply contain the loss_weight* $ \lambda $, as $ \lambda $ is the coefficient of this layer's output $\ell_i$ in the overall Net loss $ E = \lambda_i \ell_i + \mbox{other loss terms}$; hence $ \frac{\partial E}{\partial \ell_i} = \lambda_i $. (*Assuming that this top Blob is not used as a bottom (input) by any other layer of the Net.)
propagate_downsee Layer::Backward. propagate_down[1] must be false as we can't compute gradients with respect to the labels.
bottominput Blob vector (length 2)
  1. $ (N \times C \times H \times W) $ the predictions $t$; Backward computes diff $ \frac{\partial E}{\partial t} $
  2. $ (N \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the labels – ignored as we can't compute their error gradients

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ Forward_cpu()

template<typename Dtype >
void caffe::HingeLossLayer< Dtype >::Forward_cpu ( const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &  bottom,
const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &  top 
)
protectedvirtual

Computes the hinge loss for a one-of-many classification task.

Parameters
bottominput Blob vector (length 2)
  1. $ (N \times C \times H \times W) $ the predictions $ t $, a Blob with values in $ [-\infty, +\infty] $ indicating the predicted score for each of the $ K = CHW $ classes. In an SVM, $ t $ is the result of taking the inner product $ X^T W $ of the D-dimensional features $ X \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times N} $ and the learned hyperplane parameters $ W \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times K} $, so a Net with just an InnerProductLayer (with num_output = D) providing predictions to a HingeLossLayer and no other learnable parameters or losses is equivalent to an SVM.
  2. $ (N \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the labels $ l $, an integer-valued Blob with values $ l_n \in [0, 1, 2, ..., K - 1] $ indicating the correct class label among the $ K $ classes
topoutput Blob vector (length 1)
  1. $ (1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the computed hinge loss: $ E = \frac{1}{N} \sum\limits_{n=1}^N \sum\limits_{k=1}^K [\max(0, 1 - \delta\{l_n = k\} t_{nk})] ^ p $, for the $ L^p $ norm (defaults to $ p = 1 $, the L1 norm; L2 norm, as in L2-SVM, is also available), and $ \delta\{\mathrm{condition}\} = \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} 1 & \mbox{if condition} \\ -1 & \mbox{otherwise} \end{array} \right. $

In an SVM, $ t \in \mathcal{R}^{N \times K} $ is the result of taking the inner product $ X^T W $ of the features $ X \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times N} $ and the learned hyperplane parameters $ W \in \mathcal{R}^{D \times K} $. So, a Net with just an InnerProductLayer (with num_output = $k$) providing predictions to a HingeLossLayer is equivalent to an SVM (assuming it has no other learned outside the InnerProductLayer and no other losses outside the HingeLossLayer).
