Detailed Description

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

An interface for Layers that take two Blobs as input – usually (1) predictions and (2) ground-truth labels – and output a singleton Blob representing the loss.

LossLayers are typically only capable of backpropagating to their first input – the predictions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AllowForceBackward()

template<typename Dtype >

virtual bool caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >::AllowForceBackward ( const int bottom_index ) const

inlinevirtual

We usually cannot backpropagate to the labels; ignore force_backward for these inputs.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

Reimplemented in caffe::EuclideanLossLayer< Dtype >, and caffe::ContrastiveLossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ ExactNumBottomBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >

virtual int caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >::ExactNumBottomBlobs ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the exact number of bottom blobs required by the layer, or -1 if no exact number is required.

This method should be overridden to return a non-negative value if your layer expects some exact number of bottom blobs.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

Reimplemented in caffe::InfogainLossLayer< Dtype >, and caffe::ContrastiveLossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ ExactNumTopBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >

virtual int caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >::ExactNumTopBlobs ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the exact number of top blobs required by the layer, or -1 if no exact number is required.

This method should be overridden to return a non-negative value if your layer expects some exact number of top blobs.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

Reimplemented in caffe::InfogainLossLayer< Dtype >, and caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ LayerSetUp()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >::LayerSetUp	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top
	)

virtual

Does layer-specific setup: your layer should implement this function as well as Reshape.

Parameters

bottom	the preshaped input blobs, whose data fields store the input data for this layer
top	the allocated but unshaped output blobs

This method should do one-time layer specific setup. This includes reading and processing relevent parameters from the layer_param_. Setting up the shapes of top blobs and internal buffers should be done in Reshape, which will be called before the forward pass to adjust the top blob sizes.

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

Reimplemented in caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >, caffe::InfogainLossLayer< Dtype >, caffe::SigmoidCrossEntropyLossLayer< Dtype >, and caffe::ContrastiveLossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ Reshape()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >::Reshape	(	const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	bottom,
		const vector< Blob< Dtype > *> &	top
	)

virtual

Adjust the shapes of top blobs and internal buffers to accommodate the shapes of the bottom blobs.

Parameters

bottom	the input blobs, with the requested input shapes
top	the top blobs, which should be reshaped as needed

This method should reshape top blobs as needed according to the shapes of the bottom (input) blobs, as well as reshaping any internal buffers and making any other necessary adjustments so that the layer can accommodate the bottom blobs.

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

Reimplemented in caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >, caffe::InfogainLossLayer< Dtype >, caffe::SigmoidCrossEntropyLossLayer< Dtype >, caffe::MultinomialLogisticLossLayer< Dtype >, and caffe::EuclideanLossLayer< Dtype >.
