CrossEntropyLoss

class CrossEntropyLoss

Bases: Loss

This class computes the cross entropy loss for each sample as:

\[\text{CrossEntropyLoss}(predict, target) = -\sum_{i=0}^{N_{\text{classes}}} target_i * log(predict_i).\]

Methods

evaluate(predict, target)

An abstract method for evaluating the loss function. Inputs are expected in a shape of (N, *). Where N is a number of samples. Loss is computed for each sample individually.

Parámetros:

• predict (ndarray) – an array of predicted values using the model.

• target (ndarray) – an array of the true values.

Devuelve:

An array with values of the loss function of the shape (N, 1).

Muestra:

QiskitMachineLearningError – shapes of predict and target do not match

Tipo del valor devuelto:

ndarray

gradient(predict, target)

Assume softmax is used, and target vector may or may not be one-hot encoding

Tipo del valor devuelto:

ndarray
