Retrieval Hit Rate

Module Interface

class torchmetrics.RetrievalHitRate(empty_target_action='neg', ignore_index=None, k=None, compute_on_step=None, **kwargs)

Computes IR HitRate.

Works with binary target data. Accepts float predictions from a model output.

Forward accepts:

• preds (float tensor): (N, ...)

• target (long or bool tensor): (N, ...)

• indexes (long tensor): (N, ...)

indexes, preds and target must have the same dimension. indexes indicate to which query a prediction belongs. Predictions will be first grouped by indexes and then the Hit Rate will be computed as the mean of the Hit Rate over each query.

Parameters

• empty_target_action (str) –

  Specify what to do with queries that do not have at least a positive target. Choose from:

  • 'neg': those queries count as 0.0 (default)

  • 'pos': those queries count as 1.0

  • 'skip': skip those queries; if all queries are skipped, 0.0 is returned

  • 'error': raise a ValueError

• ignore_index (Optional[int]) – Ignore predictions where the target is equal to this number.

• k (Optional[int]) – consider only the top k elements for each query (default: None, which considers them all)

• compute_on_step (Optional[bool]) –

  Forward only calls update() and returns None if this is set to False.

  Deprecated since version v0.8: Argument has no use anymore and will be removed v0.9.

• kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) – Additional keyword arguments, see Advanced metric settings for more info.

Raises

• ValueError – If empty_target_action is not one of error, skip, neg or pos.

• ValueError – If ignore_index is not None or an integer.

• ValueError – If k parameter is not None or an integer larger than 0.

Example

>>> from torchmetrics import RetrievalHitRate
>>> indexes = tensor([0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1])
>>> preds = tensor([0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.2])
>>> target = tensor([True, False, False, False, True, False, True])
>>> hr2 = RetrievalHitRate(k=2)
>>> hr2(preds, target, indexes=indexes)
tensor(0.5000)

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

Functional Interface

torchmetrics.functional.retrieval_hit_rate(preds, target, k=None)

Computes the hit rate (for information retrieval). The hit rate is 1.0 if there is at least one relevant document among all the top k retrieved documents.

preds and target should be of the same shape and live on the same device. If no target is True, 0 is returned. target must be either bool or integers and preds must be float, otherwise an error is raised. If you want to measure HitRate@K, k must be a positive integer.

Parameters

• preds (Tensor) – estimated probabilities of each document to be relevant.

• target (Tensor) – ground truth about each document being relevant or not.

• k (Optional[int]) – consider only the top k elements (default: None, which considers them all)

Return type

Tensor

Returns

a single-value tensor with the hit rate (at k) of the predictions preds w.r.t. the labels target.

Raises

ValueError – If k parameter is not None or an integer larger than 0

Example

>>> preds = tensor([0.2, 0.3, 0.5])
>>> target = tensor([True, False, True])
>>> retrieval_hit_rate(preds, target, k=2)
tensor(1.)
