MeanAbsoluteLossLayer

MeanAbsoluteLossLayer[]

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

Details and Options

  • MeanAbsoluteLossLayer exposes the following ports for use in NetGraph etc.:
  • "Input"a tensor of arbitrary rank
    "Target"a tensor of the same rank as "Input"
    "Loss"a real number
  • MeanAbsoluteLossLayer[…][<|"Input" -> in, "Target"target|>] explicitly computes the output from applying the layer.
  • MeanAbsoluteLossLayer[…][<|"Input"->{in1,in2,…},"Target"->{target1,target2,…}|>] explicitly computes outputs for each of the ini and targeti.
  • MeanAbsoluteLossLayer is typically used inside NetGraph to construct a training network.
  • A MeanAbsoluteLossLayer[…] can be provided as the third argument to NetTrain when training a specific network.
  • MeanAbsoluteLossLayer["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,…}a tensor of dimensions n1×n2×…
    "Varying"a variable-length vector
    {"Varying",n2,n3,…}a variable-length sequence of tensors of dimensions n2×n3×…
