tfa.losses.TripletHardLoss

Computes the triplet loss with hard negative and hard positive mining.

tfa.losses.TripletHardLoss(
    margin: tfa.types.FloatTensorLike = 1.0,
    soft: bool = False,
    distance_metric: Union[str, Callable] = 'L2',
    name: Optional[str] = None,
    **kwargs
)

The loss encourages the maximum positive distance (between a pair of embeddings with the same labels) to be smaller than the minimum negative distance plus the margin constant in the mini-batch. The loss selects the hardest positive and the hardest negative samples within the batch when forming the triplets for computing the loss. See: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.07737

We expect labels y_true to be provided as 1-D integer Tensor with shape [batch_size] of multi-class integer labels. And embeddings y_pred must be 2-D float Tensor of l2 normalized embedding vectors.

Args
margin	Float, margin term in the loss definition. Default value is 1.0.
soft	Boolean, if set, use the soft margin version. Default value is False.
name	Optional name for the op.

Methods

from_config

@classmethod
from_config(
    config
)

Instantiates a Loss from its config (output of get_config()).

Args
config	Output of get_config().

Returns
A Loss instance.

get_config

get_config()

Returns the config dictionary for a Loss instance.

__call__

__call__(
    y_true, y_pred, sample_weight=None
)

Invokes the Loss instance.

Args
y_true	Ground truth values. shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN], except sparse loss functions such as sparse categorical crossentropy where shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1]
y_pred	The predicted values. shape = [batch_size, d0, .. dN]
sample_weight	Optional sample_weight acts as a coefficient for the loss. If a scalar is provided, then the loss is simply scaled by the given value. If sample_weight is a tensor of size [batch_size], then the total loss for each sample of the batch is rescaled by the corresponding element in the sample_weight vector. If the shape of sample_weight is [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1] (or can be broadcasted to this shape), then each loss element of y_pred is scaled by the corresponding value of sample_weight. (Note ondN-1: all loss functions reduce by 1 dimension, usually axis=-1.)

Returns
Weighted loss float Tensor. If reduction is NONE, this has shape [batch_size, d0, .. dN-1]; otherwise, it is scalar. (Note dN-1 because all loss functions reduce by 1 dimension, usually axis=-1.)

Raises
ValueError	If the shape of sample_weight is invalid.
