poisson_nll_loss¶

paddle.nn.functional. poisson_nll_loss ( input: Tensor, label: Tensor, log_input: bool = True, full: bool = False, epsilon: float = 1e-08, reduction: _ReduceMode = 'mean', name: str | None = None ) → Tensor [source]

Poisson negative log likelihood loss. See more detail in PoissonNLLLoss .

Parameters

• input (Tensor) – Input tensor, expectation of underlying Poisson distribution. The shape of input tensor should be (N, *) or (*) where (*) denotes any number of extra dimensions. It’s data type should be float16, bfloat16, float32, float64.

• label (Tensor) – Label tensor, random sampled from Poisson distribution $label \sim \text{Poisson}(input)$. The shape of input tensor should be (N, *) or (*), same shape as the input tensor. It’s data type should be float16, bfloat16, float32, float64.

• log_input (bool, optional) – Whether to the treat input tensor as log input. If True the loss is computed as, $\exp(\text{input}) - \text{label} * \text{input}$ . If False then loss is $\text{input} - \text{label} * \log(\text{input}+\text{epsilon})$ . Default: True.

• full (bool, optional) – Whether to compute full loss. If True, the Stirling approximation term is added. If False, the Stirling approximation is dropped. Default: False.

• epsilon (float, optional) – A small value to avoid evaluation of $\log(0)$ when log_input=False. epsilon > 0. Default: 1e-8.

• reduction (str, optional) – Indicate how to reduce the loss, the candidates are 'none' | 'mean' | 'sum'. If reduction is 'mean', the reduced mean loss is returned; if reduction is 'sum', the reduced sum loss is returned; if reduction is 'none', no reduction will be applied. Default is 'mean'.

• name (str|None, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.
