r"""Calculates `the mean absolute error <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_absolute_error>`_.
.. math:: \text{MAE} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N \lvert y_{i} - x_{i} \rvert
where :math:`y_{i}` is the prediction tensor and :math:`x_{i}` is ground true tensor.
- ``update`` must receive output of the form ``(y_pred, y)``.
Args:
output_transform: a callable that is used to transform the
:class:`~ignite.engine.engine.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: 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.
Examples:
To use with ``Engine`` and ``process_function``, simply attach the metric instance to the engine.
The output of the engine's ``process_function`` needs to be in the format of
``(y_pred, y)`` or ``{'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y, ...}``. If not, ``output_tranform`` can be added
to the metric to transform the output into the form expected by the metric.
``y_pred`` and ``y`` should have the same shape.
