Adding custom loss function for variational autoencoder keras












0















I am trying to add a custom loss function for variational autoencoder. Along with the reconstruction loss, KL divergence I wish to add a loss based on the difference between hamming distances of pairs of input and outputs.



But the problem what I am having is that with or without this extra loss, the results are same. Could anyone point out what I should be doing to correct it? Is it something to do with dimensions or something else.



Here is my code snippet:



def ham_loss(y_true,y_pred):
# calculate pairwise hamming distance matrix
# differences of y_pred probabilities)
pairwise_diff_pred = K.expand_dims(y_pred, 0) - K.expand_dims(y_pred, 1)
pairwise_distance_pred = K.sum(pairwise_diff_pred, axis=-1)

# calculate pairwise hamming distance matrix for inputs
pairwise_diff_true = K.expand_dims(y_true, 0) - K.expand_dims(y_true, 1)
pairwise_distance_true = K.sum(pairwise_diff_true, axis=-1)

#Difference between the distances of y_true and y_predictions
hamm_sum= Lambda(differences)([pairwise_distance_true, pairwise_distance_pred])
print(hamm_sum)
return K.sum(hamm_sum, axis=-1)

def vae_loss(y_true, y_pred):
""" Calculate loss = reconstruction loss + KL loss for each data in minibatch """
# E[log P(X|z)]

recon = K.sum(K.binary_crossentropy(y_true,y_pred),axis=1)
# D_KL(Q(z|X) || P(z|X)); calculate in closed form as both dist. are Gaussian
kl = 0.5 * K.sum(K.exp(z_log_var) + K.square(z_mean) - 1. - z_log_var, axis=1)

hamming_loss = ham_loss(y_true,y_pred)

return recon + kl + hamming_loss


Any help much appreciated!



Thanks in advance..

  • Have you tried return recon + kl + 100*hamming_loss? Perhaps just your hamming cost is several orders of magnitude lower than the rest of your cost?

  • Yeah I did but it didn't really change the result in a big way!

  • Probably because of the difference in scale between the costs!
