MutualInformation#
- class ignite.metrics.MutualInformation(output_transform=<function Metric.<lambda>>, device=device(type='cpu'), skip_unrolling=False)[source]#
Calculates the mutual information between input and prediction .
where is the prediction probability vector for -th input, and is the entropy of .
Intuitively, this metric measures how well input data are clustered by classes in the feature space [1].

update
must receive output of the form(y_pred, y)
whiley
is not used in this metric.y_pred
is expected to be the unnormalized logits for each class. (classification) or (e.g., image segmentation) shapes are allowed.
- Parameters
output_transform (Callable) – a callable that is used to transform the
Engine
’sprocess_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 theupdate
method is non-blocking. By default, CPU.skip_unrolling (bool) – specifies whether output should be unrolled before being fed to update method. Should be true for multi-output model, for example, if
y_pred
contains multi-ouput as(y_pred_a, y_pred_b)
Alternatively,output_transform
can be used to handle this.
Examples
To use with
Engine
andprocess_function
, simply attach the metric instance to the engine. The output of the engine’sprocess_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.For more information on how metric works with

Changed in version 0.5.1:
skip_unrolling
argument is added.Methods
Computes the metric based on its accumulated state.
Resets the metric to its initial state.
- compute()[source]#
Computes the metric based on its 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 whencompleted()
is called. - Return type
Any
- Raises
NotComputableError – raised when the metric cannot be computed.
