MeanAbsoluteError#

class ignite.metrics.MeanAbsoluteError(output_transform=<function Metric.<lambda>>, device=device(type='cpu'))[source]#

Calculates the mean absolute error.

MAE=1Ni=1Nyixi\text{MAE} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N \lvert y_{i} - x_{i} \rvert

where yiy_{i} is the prediction tensor and xix_{i} is ground true tensor.

  • update must receive output of the form (y_pred, y) or {'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}.

Parameters
  • output_transform (Callable) – a callable that is used to transform the Engine’s process_function’s output into the form expected by the metric. This can be useful if, for example, you have a multi-output model and you want to compute the metric with respect to one of the outputs. By default, metrics require the output as (y_pred, y) or {'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}.

  • device (Union[str, device]) – specifies which device updates are accumulated on. Setting the metric’s device to be the same as your update arguments ensures the update method is non-blocking. By default, CPU.

Methods

compute

Computes the metric based on it's accumulated state.

reset

Resets the metric to it's initial state.

update

Updates the metric's state using the passed batch output.

compute()[source]#

Computes the metric based on it’s accumulated state.

By default, this is called at the end of each epoch.

Returns

the actual quantity of interest. However, if a Mapping is returned, it will be (shallow) flattened into engine.state.metrics when completed() is called.

Return type

Any

Raises

NotComputableError – raised when the metric cannot be computed.

reset()[source]#

Resets the metric to it’s initial state.

By default, this is called at the start of each epoch.

Return type

None

update(output)[source]#

Updates the metric’s state using the passed batch output.

By default, this is called once for each batch.

Parameters

output (Sequence[Tensor]) – the is the output from the engine’s process function.

Return type

None
