Differences

API function of MindSpore is consistent with that of PyTorch.

PyTorch:

• PyTorch has two initialization parameters size_average and reduce , which are deprecated and replaced by reduction .

• margin is an initialization parameter, not an input parameter. The data type of margin is float.

MindSpore:

• MindSpore doesn’t have initialization parameters size_average and reduce .

• margin is not an initialization parameter, but an input parameter. The data type of margin can be tensor or float.

• The input parameter x of MindSpore corresponds to the input parameter anchor of PyTorch.

• MindSpore’s initialization parameters swapand eps are positioned in a different order than PyTorch.
