mindspore.ops.huber_loss

mindspore.ops.huber_loss(input, target, reduction='mean', delta=1.0)[source]

Calculates the error between the predicted value and the target value, which has the best of both the loss of l1 and the loss of mse.

Assuming that the \(x\) and \(y\) are 1-D Tensor, length \(N\), the reduction parameter is set to “none” then calculate the loss of \(x\) and \(y\) without dimensionality reduction. The formula is as follows:

\[\ell(x, y) = L = \{l_1,\dots,l_N\}^\top\]

with

\[\begin{split}l_n = \begin{cases} 0.5 * (x_n - y_n)^2, & \text{if } |x_n - y_n| < delta; \\ delta * (|x_n - y_n| - 0.5 * delta), & \text{otherwise. } \end{cases}\end{split}\]

where \(N\) is the batch size.

If reduction is “mean” or “sum”, then:

\[\begin{split}\ell(x, y) = \begin{cases} \operatorname{mean}(L), & \text{if reduction} = \text{"mean";}\\ \operatorname{sum}(L), & \text{if reduction} = \text{"sum".} \end{cases}\end{split}\]
Parameters

  • input (Tensor) – Predicted value, Tensor of any dimension.

  • target (Tensor) – Target value, has same dtype and shape as the input in common cases. However, when the shape of target is different from the shape of input, and they should be broadcasted to each other.

  • reduction (str) – Type of reduction to be applied to loss. The optional values are ‘mean’, ‘sum’ and ‘none’. Default: ‘mean’.

  • delta (Union[int, float]) – The threshold to change between two type of loss. The value must be greater than zero. Default: 1.0.

Returns

Tensor or Scalar, if reduction is “none”, return a Tensor with same shape and dtype as input. Otherwise, a scalar value will be returned.

Raises

  • TypeError – If input or target is not a Tensor.

  • TypeError – If dtype of delta is neither float nor int.

  • ValueError – If delta is less than or equal to 0.

  • ValueError – If reduction is not one of “none”, “mean”, “sum”.

  • ValueError – If input and target have different shapes and cannot be broadcasted to each other.
