## Detailed Description

### template<typename Dtype>
class caffe::MultinomialLogisticLossLayer< Dtype >

Computes the multinomial logistic loss for a one-of-many classification task, directly taking a predicted probability distribution as input.

When predictions are not already a probability distribution, you should instead use the SoftmaxWithLossLayer, which maps predictions to a distribution using the SoftmaxLayer, before computing the multinomial logistic loss. The SoftmaxWithLossLayer should be preferred over separate SoftmaxLayer + MultinomialLogisticLossLayer as its gradient computation is more numerically stable.

Parameters

  bottom

  input Blob vector (length 2)
  1. the predictions , a Blob with values in indicating the predicted probability of each of the classes. Each prediction vector should sum to 1 as in a probability distribution: .
  2. the labels , an integer-valued Blob with values indicating the correct class label among the classes

  top

  output Blob vector (length 1)
  1. the computed multinomial logistic loss:

## Backward_cpu()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::MultinomialLogisticLossLayer< Dtype >::Backward_cpu | ( | const vector< Blob< Dtype > * > & | top,
|  | const vector< bool > & | propagate_down,
|  | const vector< Blob< Dtype > * > & | bottom
| ) |  |

protected virtual

Computes the multinomial logistic loss error gradient w.r.t. the predictions.

Gradients cannot be computed with respect to the label inputs (bottom[1]), so this method ignores bottom[1] and requires !propagate_down[1], crashing if propagate_down[1] is set.

Parameters

  top

  output Blob vector (length 1), providing the error gradient with respect to the outputs
  1. This Blob's diff will simply contain the loss_weight* , as is the coefficient of this layer's output in the overall Net loss ; hence . (*Assuming that this top Blob is not used as a bottom (input) by any other layer of the Net.)

  propagate_down | see Layer::Backward. propagate_down[1] must be false as we can't compute gradients with respect to the labels.

  bottom

  input Blob vector (length 2)
  1. the predictions ; Backward computes diff
  2. the labels – ignored as we can't compute their error gradients

Implements caffe::Layer< Dtype >.

## Reshape()

template<typename Dtype >

void caffe::MultinomialLogisticLossLayer< Dtype >::Reshape | ( | const vector< Blob< Dtype > * > & | bottom,
|  | const vector< Blob< Dtype > * > & | top
| ) |  |

virtual

Adjust the shapes of top blobs and internal buffers to accommodate the shapes of the bottom blobs.

Parameters

  bottom | the input blobs, with the requested input shapes
  top | the top blobs, which should be reshaped as needed

This method should reshape top blobs as needed according to the shapes of the bottom (input) blobs, as well as reshaping any internal buffers and making any other necessary adjustments so that the layer can accommodate the bottom blobs.
