Angular Penalty Softmax Losses Pytorch

Concise Pytorch implementation of the Angular Penalty Softmax Losses presented in:

(Note: the SphereFace implementation is not exactly as described in their paper but instead uses the 'trick' presented in the ArcFace paper to use arccosine instead of the double angle formula)

from loss_functions import AngularPenaltySMLoss

in_features = 512
out_features = 10 # Number of classes

criterion = AngularPenaltySMLoss(in_features, out_features, loss_type='arcface') # loss_type in ['arcface', 'sphereface', 'cosface']

# Forward method works similarly to nn.CrossEntropyLoss
# x of shape (batch_size, in_features), labels of shape (batch_size,)
# labels should indicate class of each sample, and should be an int, l satisying 0 <= l < out_dim
loss = criterion(x, labels) 
loss.backward()

Experiments/Demo

There are a simple set of experiments on Fashion-MNIST [2] included in train_fMNIST.py which compares the use of ordinary Softmax and Additive Margin Softmax loss functions by projecting embedding features onto a 3D sphere.

The experiments can be run like so:

python train_fMNIST.py --num-epochs 40 --seed 1234 --use-cuda

Which produces the following results:

Baseline (softmax)

softmax

Additive Margin Softmax/CosFace

cosface

ArcFace

arcface

TODO: fix sphereface results
