`tf.compat.v1.keras.metrics.get`

tf.keras.metrics.get(
    identifier
)

The identifier may be the string name of a metric function or class.

metric = tf.keras.metrics.get("categorical_crossentropy")
type(metric)
<class 'function'>
metric = tf.keras.metrics.get("CategoricalCrossentropy")
type(metric)
<class '...metrics.CategoricalCrossentropy'>

You can also specify config of the metric to this function by passing dict containing class_name and config as an identifier. Also note that the class_name must map to a Metric class

identifier = {"class_name": "CategoricalCrossentropy",
              "config": {"from_logits": True} }
metric = tf.keras.metrics.get(identifier)
type(metric)
<class '...metrics.CategoricalCrossentropy'>

Args
identifier	A metric identifier. One of None or string name of a metric function/class or metric configuration dictionary or a metric function or a metric class instance

Returns
A Keras metric as a function/ Metric class instance.

Raises
ValueError	If identifier cannot be interpreted.
