Make the DeepLabV3 loss function weighted


I am using the DeepLabV3+ repository and I noticed that the loss_weight is set to 1.0 which means that we are weighting classes in the same way. However, I have a really unbalanced dataset, something like 80% negative and 20% positive.

  """Adds softmax cross entropy loss for logits of each scale.

  Args:
    scales_to_logits: A map from logits names for different scales to logits.
      The logits have shape [batch, logits_height, logits_width, num_classes].
    labels: Groundtruth labels with shape [batch, image_height, image_width, 1].
    num_classes: Integer, number of target classes.
    ignore_label: Integer, label to ignore.
    loss_weight: Float, loss weight.
    upsample_logits: Boolean, upsample logits or not.
    hard_example_mining_step: An integer, the training step in which the hard
      exampling mining kicks off. Note that we gradually reduce the mining
      percent to the top_k_percent_pixels. For example, if
      hard_example_mining_step = 100K and top_k_percent_pixels = 0.25, then
      mining percent will gradually reduce from 100% to 25% until 100K steps
      after which we only mine top 25% pixels.
    top_k_percent_pixels: A float, the value lies in [0.0, 1.0]. When its value
      < 1.0, only compute the loss for the top k percent pixels (e.g., the top
      20% pixels). This is useful for hard pixel mining.

This is the loss function they use and as you can see the loss_weight is 1.0.

not_ignore_mask = tf.to_float(tf.not_equal(scaled_labels,
                                               ignore_label)) * loss_weight

I want to give a weight of 0.2 to negative classes and 0.8 to my positve class (predictions). Does anyone know how to do this or any repo/example that have done this before?

regards


Solution

  • you can change the weights in "train_utils.py" inside "utils" folder.

    In "def add_softmax_cross_entropy_loss_for_each_scale(...)"

    Something like this:

    for scale, logits in six.iteritems(scales_to_logits):
      loss_scope = None
      irgore_weight = 0
      label0_weight = 0.2 #I don't know your labels order...
      label1_weight = 0.8 #I don't know your labels order...
    

    Also change the not_ignore_mask, like this:

    not_ignore_mask = tf.to_float(tf.equal(scaled_labels, 0)) * label0_weight + tf.to_float(tf.equal(scaled_labels, 1)) * label1_weight + tf.to_float(tf.equal(scaled_labels, ignore_label)) * irgore_weight
    

    I hope it is helpful.
