Detailed Description

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

Computes the multinomial logistic loss for a one-of-many classification task, passing real-valued predictions through a softmax to get a probability distribution over classes.

This layer should be preferred over separate SoftmaxLayer + MultinomialLogisticLossLayer as its gradient computation is more numerically stable. At test time, this layer can be replaced simply by a SoftmaxLayer.

Parameters
bottominput Blob vector (length 2)
  1. $ (N \times C \times H \times W) $ the predictions $ x $, a Blob with values in $ [-\infty, +\infty] $ indicating the predicted score for each of the $ K = CHW $ classes. This layer maps these scores to a probability distribution over classes using the softmax function $ \hat{p}_{nk} = \exp(x_{nk}) / \left[\sum_{k'} \exp(x_{nk'})\right] $ (see SoftmaxLayer).
  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 cross-entropy classification loss: $ E = \frac{-1}{N} \sum\limits_{n=1}^N \log(\hat{p}_{n,l_n}) $, for softmax output class probabilites $ \hat{p} $

◆ SoftmaxWithLossLayer()

template<typename Dtype >
caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >::SoftmaxWithLossLayer ( const LayerParameter &  param)
inlineexplicit
Parameters
paramprovides LossParameter loss_param, with options:
  • ignore_label (optional) Specify a label value that should be ignored when computing the loss.
  • normalize (optional, default true) If true, the loss is normalized by the number of (nonignored) labels present; otherwise the loss is simply summed over spatial locations.

◆ Backward_cpu()

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

Computes the softmax 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 $ x $; Backward computes diff $ \frac{\partial E}{\partial x} $
  2. $ (N \times 1 \times 1 \times 1) $ the labels – ignored as we can't compute their error gradients

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ ExactNumTopBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >
virtual int caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< 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::LossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ get_normalizer()

template<typename Dtype >
Dtype caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >::get_normalizer ( LossParameter_NormalizationMode  normalization_mode,
int  valid_count 
)
protectedvirtual

Read the normalization mode parameter and compute the normalizer based on the blob size. If normalization_mode is VALID, the count of valid outputs will be read from valid_count, unless it is -1 in which case all outputs are assumed to be valid.

◆ LayerSetUp()

template<typename Dtype >
void caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< 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
bottomthe preshaped input blobs, whose data fields store the input data for this layer
topthe 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::LossLayer< Dtype >.

◆ MaxTopBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >
virtual int caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >::MaxTopBlobs ( ) const
inlinevirtual

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

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

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ MinTopBlobs()

template<typename Dtype >
virtual int caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< Dtype >::MinTopBlobs ( ) const
inlinevirtual

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

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

Reimplemented from caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

◆ Reshape()

template<typename Dtype >
void caffe::SoftmaxWithLossLayer< 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
bottomthe input blobs, with the requested input shapes
topthe 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.

Reimplemented from caffe::LossLayer< Dtype >.
