Coverage Error

Module Interface

class torchmetrics.classification.MultilabelCoverageError(num_labels, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]

Computes Multilabel coverage error. The score measure how far we need to go through the ranked scores to cover all true labels. The best value is equal to the average number of labels in the target tensor per sample.

As input to forward and update the metric accepts the following input:

  • preds (Tensor): A float tensor of shape (N, C, ...). Preds should be a tensor containing probabilities or logits for each observation. If preds has values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element.

  • target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, C, ...). Target should be a tensor containing ground truth labels, and therefore only contain {0,1} values (except if ignore_index is specified).

Note

Additional dimension ... will be flattened into the batch dimension.

As output to forward and compute the metric returns the following output:

  • mlce (Tensor): A tensor containing the multilabel coverage error.

Parameters
  • num_labels (int) – Integer specifing the number of labels

  • ignore_index (Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation

  • validate_args (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

Example

>>> from torchmetrics.classification import MultilabelCoverageError
>>> _ = torch.manual_seed(42)
>>> preds = torch.rand(10, 5)
>>> target = torch.randint(2, (10, 5))
>>> mlce = MultilabelCoverageError(num_labels=5)
>>> mlce(preds, target)
tensor(3.9000)

Initializes internal Module state, shared by both nn.Module and ScriptModule.

Functional Interface

torchmetrics.functional.classification.multilabel_coverage_error(preds, target, num_labels, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True)[source]

Computes multilabel coverage error [1]. The score measure how far we need to go through the ranked scores to cover all true labels. The best value is equal to the average number of labels in the target tensor per sample.

Accepts the following input tensors:

  • preds (float tensor): (N, C, ...). Preds should be a tensor containing probabilities or logits for each observation. If preds has values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element.

  • target (int tensor): (N, C, ...). Target should be a tensor containing ground truth labels, and therefore only contain {0,1} values (except if ignore_index is specified).

Additional dimension ... will be flattened into the batch dimension.

Parameters
  • preds (Tensor) – Tensor with predictions

  • target (Tensor) – Tensor with true labels

  • num_labels (int) – Integer specifing the number of labels

  • ignore_index (Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation

  • validate_args (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

Example

>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_coverage_error
>>> _ = torch.manual_seed(42)
>>> preds = torch.rand(10, 5)
>>> target = torch.randint(2, (10, 5))
>>> multilabel_coverage_error(preds, target, num_labels=5)
tensor(3.9000)
