MeanSquaredLossLayer

MeanSquaredLossLayer[]

represents a loss layer that computes the mean squared loss between its "Input" port and "Target" port.

Details and Options

  • MeanSquaredLossLayer exposes the following ports for use in NetGraph etc.:
  • "Input"an array of arbitrary rank
    "Target"an array of the same rank as "Input"
    "Loss"a real number
  • MeanSquaredLossLayer[…][<|"Input"->in,"Target"target|>] explicitly computes the output from applying the layer.
  • MeanSquaredLossLayer[…][<|"Input"->{in1,in2,…},"Target"->{target1,target2,…}|>] explicitly computes outputs for each of the ini and targeti.
  • When given a NumericArray as input, the output will be a NumericArray.
  • MeanSquaredLossLayer is typically used inside NetGraph to construct a training network.
  • A MeanSquaredLossLayer[…] can be provided as the third argument to NetTrain when training a specific network.
  • When appropriate, MeanSquaredLossLayer is automatically used by NetTrain if an explicit loss specification is not provided.
  • MeanSquaredLossLayer["port"->shape] allows the shape of the given input "port" to be specified. Possible forms for shape include:
  • "Real"a single real number
    na vector of length n
    {n1,n2,…}an array of dimensions n1×n2×…
    "Varying"a vector whose length is variable
    {"Varying",n2,n3,…}an array whose first dimension is variable and whose remaining dimensions are n2×n3×…
    NetEncoder[…]an encoder
    NetEncoder[{…,"Dimensions"{n1,…}}]an encoder mapped over an array of dimensions n1×…
  • Options[MeanSquaredLossLayer] gives the list of default options to construct the layer. Options[MeanSquaredLossLayer[…]] gives the list of default options to evaluate the layer on some data.
  • Information[MeanSquaredLossLayer[…]] gives a report about the layer.
  • Information[MeanSquaredLossLayer[…],prop] gives the value of the property prop of MeanSquaredLossLayer[…]. Possible properties are the same as for NetGraph.
